But they wont fit your rangie.

First reaction: That is SO wrong.

Thought about it for a bit longer, and it still seems wrong......

[George130]

As long as they are not being taken off road then there is no harm if he likes them. For me I'm happy with my steelies but then I drive a Defender.

[Mick-Kelly]

looks like a matchbox rangie. Can you fit a set of muddies to them :(

[rovercare]

:D Awsome shopping trolley, your missus would look good cruisign Mirboo North in that:cool:

[LandyAndy]

AND THE PROBLEM IS???????
They are his on road tyres,slip em off and put the claws/off-road tyres on and go play.:cool: :cool: :cool:
Dont know that I would go there,but we are all into customising our toys how we want them,WHY NOT!!!
Did see a brand new Black D3 HSE V8 at Southerns with 22" shiny rims,looked OK.Once again I wouldnt but each to their own.
100series done the same,now that is sad!!!!And Ive seen 3 or 4 travelling thru town,YUK!!!!

They are big and sshhiinnyyyyyyyy and pretty and you can watch them go round & round & round

im going to break the trend, maybe it becasue im a bit younger than the lot of you, and i guess you coudl say its part of a young persons culture these, days, but how many D3 or L332/322 (whatever it is) do you see off road, P38 there isnt alot eaither, i love the look of that P38A and if i had one would do exactly the saem, but id probably go to 22" max

How does one read this?

Because I am a sheep like all the other baseball cap backwards hip-hop techno rave people my age I would fit a totally ridiculous set of underrated rims which are also totally illegal to my vehicle. I would ruin the ride and handling of the vehicle to have a set of totally impractical rims (pot holes and manhole covers WILL bend them) which make my ride look like I'm some sort of try hard wanna be African American Gangsta.....

How am I doing so far :p

Each to their own, whatever floats your boat, etc,etc,etc,...but everytime I see something like that, I think..what a f***wit:D Occassionally I even say it out loud:twisted:
Why don't they just get a big sticker on the back window - I'm a w*nker!!
C'mon, yo bling mofo and all that - but if I saw a Corolla with 265 muddies, I think the same way - what's the difference! None.
:D

[HangOver]

Very nice tidy looking Rangie.
I guess wheels are pesonal taste though.

[Vern]

Geee, really upset a few didn't i.

[crump]

buggerem, I just ordered a set for the Fender.:p

[JDNSW]

I can just visualise the effect of the first rock (or curb, or pothole) you hit - bent wheel and damaged tyre. It is difficult to think of anything less practical on a four wheel drive - or even a road car of any kind.

John

[hiline]

Geee, really upset a few didn't i.

i dont mind them :D :D

but he could of put some armour oil on the tyres first
give them even more shine ;)

[BMac]

You young wippersnappers don't know what from what. In my day, wheels were for gittin places or somewhere for the dog to p!ss. Nowadays its all shiney this and shiney that and no respect for blaa blaa blaa :wheelchair:


Actually, I'm just jealous cos I can't spend that sort of cash on MY ride :(

Those rims got rubber on 'em?





Oh yea, I can just see a rubber band...

Blowouts wouldn't be too much of a problem - but frankly they're just not big enough - should've gone 30"!!!

I would have one. Get more looks than the Porcshe, Volvo or BMW soft roaders when I pick the kids up from school:cool:

In this situation it does. As Tomby mentioned, it would turn a great vehicle into a rough riding box of you know what.

[Quiggers]

Hey BigJon, spend a few days on the Gold Coast!

you'll find 30" wheels on everything - 20" is passe and 24" is getting there -

my dad lives on Isle of Capri at GC and has many neighbours with large black 4wd vehicles like F250, Hummer, RR etc (none of which go 'offroad' by their appearance) but are shod with enormous wheels - gotta keep up with eh Joneses eh?

The interesting thing about these rides is that like all vehicles they'll depreciate dramatically and having done about 1000 ks a year will be good buys in maybe ten years or so - then - off with the bling wheels - and off we go....

believe it or not (and nearby to dad) - there is an F250 dualcab lwb ute (with the wheels) - which is a shopping buggy for a nearby school kid delivering mum - amazing...... (the truth is always stranger than fiction)

[BigJon]

I spent a few days there around Chrissy / New Years. You would need a 10 000 pound winch to drag me back to that hellhole:eek: . I can't for the life of me imagine why people would want to live in big city, when there is so much of the rest of Australia to spread out in:p .

[Quiggers]

You're damn right there mate.

I can't understand why people queue in traffic, and get all road ragey over parking spaces, to go to a shopping centre.

I wonder what people did before the advent of places like Pacific Fair or that one on Kath and Kim, Fountain Gate?

how dare he devalue a LR hey. The cars aren't worth a pinch of s@#t, tried to sell it for 6 months and not even a call, so thought f@#k it i'm gonna pimp it, he's got the money, so why not, its just a road car (jeep for offroad), he's not a chunky gold wearin homie, doesn't even have a watch. Actually in the auto trans game, semi retired, has a farm and cows and into crap like that.
So if you were 35, worked your ass off, had plenty of cash to do it, wouldn't you just to have a bit of fun. No! guess you wouldn't because its sacralidge to devalue a car that with its reputation did a good enough job on its own.
p.s, they are a bit big though, 22" would have been fine, in a different style aswell, still not my cup o tea

Too much credit and not enough braincells...

I would love to pull a tyre off to show him the not for hwy service stamp on the inside of them.

Good luck with insurance oh yeah he wouldn't have any money left so he won't got any while he will be the bloke tailgating you up the road and weaving in and out of traffic.

Mass generalisation, I think so but in my experience unless he sells drugs for a living he wouldn't be able to afford them and if he's rich and not into drugs he would have better taste and would just buy a RR sport, or he's just an idiot with a credit card.

As far as each to their own, if it doesn't get driven on the road then yes fine but if it does then he's breaking the law as rims like that on a 2 1/2 tonne car are illegal and dangerous.

Well good on your mate for at least doing something with his car. Too many people just drive boring econo-boxes from A-B. At least he has some passion.

Also if a mate of mine came around with hidious wheels on a LR vehical I would warn him that the wheels go or he does.

I think there is so many better ways to spend money than puting wheels that are not designed for use on Australian roads and can be dangerous as most of these stupid looking rims are not load rated so are stamped NOT FOR HWAY SERVICE for a reason.

No worries if it is a show car that is rolled off the trailer with a 10000watt sound system in it and is just there to be looked at but they shouldn't be on the road.

My Disco doesnt wear Simexs or anything like that on the road as I considder that it's not just me that I could be puting in danger if they delaminate or something stupid like that.

My ex brother in law put a set of these crap rims on his VL commondoor when he got his licence.
The wheels and tyres were worth twice the car and when they cracked and one of them departed the car at 100km/h he narrowly missed a bus and ended up upside down on the Princes Hwy near Werribie.
He tried to sue the supplier and there stamped on the inside was NOT FOR HWY SERVICE.

No I don't like them.

Given the number of vehicles in QLD with these silly wheels, one can only assume that QLDers cant read:eek: - not for highway service

There is a dead set ****** driving around Northern Brisbane, in a Tojoissanbishi something. It is black, has the most horrid chrome wheels, with tyres 2 inches high!!!

And yes, he drives it with the ****** fog lights on.
By the look of him, he's old enough to shave and appears to have a car license.

It must be an age thing....

Cheers

I know in SA the cops are getting pretty hot on non standard size wheels at present. Anything bigger than the fitment chart or basically bigger than 19" can and will be booked. For those with HSV's etc with 21" wheels from the dealer check your wheel charts on the car. My cousin has just had his VZ yellow stickered for having 21's on it. Even though they were fitted by a HSV dealer.
I do not like them and they are generally poser / bling value. Each to their own though. The benefit of these 4x4s that are not used off road is that they eventually provided good second hand 4x4s for those of us that buy second hand. It is this generation and their bad taste. No different to the differences of our taste and probablly our parents when we were younger. Variety is what makes life interesting and our comments should not be too harsh or personal. I do not like Fords, but can appreciate them and that does not make their owners tossers, err yes it does.

Or you could say "What a way to absolutely ruin the good looks of a Rangie with those ghastly wheels".

They are awful. Dunno how anyone could bring themselves to buy them. He obviously lacks taste.

Oh, he won't sell the car without the wheels - he replied to my email.

Ron,

For some one to do that to a vehicle and think it is an improvement, they would be 35 to 40 years younger than us :D
