Are these the 20" wheels
Since the LR site wheels sections is buggy let me ask if the wheels shown in this photo
are the 20" ones or the 19" split spoke ones?
Thanks

OK we get the message that you want a D4 and can afford one Why dont you wait to see one at your dealer who should have a brochure and then order one In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I don't know about the wheels but the paint looks like 'Moorland Camo' colour. LR could have picked a slightly more striking colour

Don't you worry SPOTTER, anyone with a passion for LR's is entitled to one, even if you would have to get a big loan for that (like some of us)
It is passion that drives all great achievements in life anyway!

so the current HSE wheel becomes the future GS wheel..............
presumably that justifies the cost of the new GS....... end of an era ....... maybe a Defender when it appears.......

Don't they just, wait for all the 'i'm thinking of powdercoating my new D4 wheels black' threads I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Me too....in fact I think my 5-spoke 18" wheels are the best looking ones
Saying this, I must admit that the new wheels are very pretty....nice and stylish without being ostentatious (no idea how to spell it) as per the 19" or 20" wheels that they stick on the X5 or Q7.2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG
