[CSBrisie]

Yeah cant work out what size they are.....

Where did you find those pics Chris?

[CSBrisie]

I just googled ("images") L405 Range Rover as I was trying to find a picture of the Silk Trail Cars to see what tyres they had....and these two photos unexpectedly came up.
I think they were on "autoexpress" website?
cheers

My guess is it is a complete fabrication in Photoshop. The spotlights are awkwardly skewed and appear to be floating; the wheels and tyres stolen from a Defender.

I think you might be right...sadly...suspect its Auto Express UK view of what a RRV SVX (out of the new Land Rover SVO) might look like. (although, those Sawtooth alloys ARE available in 18inch...which might fit a SDV6 RRV??)

Hi CSBrisie,
Would like to see a pic of your Rangie.. Sounds well set up.

Yes it is definitely a photoshop, the headlight guards dont fit and the snorkel doesnt appear to relate to the air intakes (under the sides of the bonnet). Anyone from UK watching ? I would love to know if the Fender wheels fit the L405 RRV TDV6.
For some reason LR call the SDV6 Disco engine a TDV6 when fitted to the L405, and call the hybrid model an SDV6 !!

Defender wheels don't fit, two completely different stud patterns.

There's a good chance the new Defender will adopt the 5x120 pattern though...
