Stick, more knowledge here than any dealer, don't worry about asking questions - we may dance round the houses but generally get there! Try one if the better stealers, Yeovil LR or Lookers (ex Charles Hurst) London Way. Second set of wheels is a good start, wheel collecting gets addictive!!

Easy way to get a 2nd set of wheels is keep an eye on eBay, as the D4 gets less new sets will appear as people ugrade wheels, generally fraction of what a dealer will charge. Get your winter tyres next summer when they are available & sorted!

one for snow tyres- legal requirement in Germany, and advisable for fault allocation in Switzerland

HI, So has anyone worked out which D3/RR 19" will fit 3lt D4 yet ?
In Oz seems hard to get any 19" rim to fit.
Really need extra spare to take bush.

19" RRS fitted on D4
Well the D4 and after a few hours on muddy tracks I've convinced my self I cannot live with the scorpions. So the forward planning has come into play......... And I can confirm that the 19" RRS wheels fitt no problem. It the first time I've used the MTR's and needless to say the noise may be an issue but grip is fantastic. However I may have found a solution to the noise, DAB radio - Planet Rock I'm sure this was put on air for the D4 sterio system.[/img]It's my mud so keep out!

Great news, if I could work out how to put the bowing emoticon in, I would. But I can't.
Sorry , but a few more detailed questions. RRS have had several 19 inch wheels over the years. It looks to me that they were on 19*8j wheels(255/55/19 tyres) until 2006, and sometime that year went to 19*8.5j or 19*9j wheels (255/50/19 tyres). Do you know which one that you have tested?
