Wheels

[RonMcGr]

Due to the mud slinging and verbal insults that followed, the wheels are gone!!

[Tusker]

There's a couple of sites around with the Iceland rigs, what they do. Including widening the body if memory serves.

Theres an Icelandic mob who export their big flares too. Who knows what that'd cost here.

Then we go from the blind to the ridiculous :confused:



What are you saying? Anything that does not cater for your own personal tastes is ridiculous


I like the rims on the RRS.

Ron? never

I want some for my P38, although in shadow /chrome would suit it alittle better being white;)

[dirtdawg]

both pics look good

[dobbo]

both pics look good

No they don't they look ridiculous, Ron said so.

[rovercare]

Ron doesn't even have "offroad tyres" on his own Disco:D

[dobbo]

You mentioned personal taste, mate, not ME!!

If you don't like blind to ridiculous, try chalk and cheese.

It should be quite obvious to the average er.. "person" that Land Rovers are off road vehicles, are they not?

The big wheel makes sense for certain types of terrain, the "Yobbo" wheels, although they may look fantastics to some, are totally useless on a 4WD..:mad:


And when was the last time you saw a RRS on a bush track?????????

They're a bling machine, capable of getting away from the papparazzi or the police if your being followed and cannot loose them on the bituman. It's a Range Rover not a Land Rover, there are differences you know.

[dobbo]

So one doesn't and has never owned a Range Rover Sport?

:o:o:o

Might have to spray his windscreen red/rose tint whilst the disco is in the shop so Ron can cancel out the effect of the green eyed syndrome.

Don't worry Ron, I'll let you wash my D2 in Cooma if you like.

:p:p Fair comment, but I was having a TIC go at you for inferring that rangies aren't up to it.

(I am a closet 110 Isuzu owner, that's why I made my RRC as 'Isuzu 110' as possible, coz I can't have the real thing!:()

Yes you can, you just haven't found one yet. I tell you what you find me a Supercharged black RRS with "crap bling wheels" and I'll swap it to you for my real Isuzu 110.

question for the shooters
I know a few of you guys shoot for sport and I don't want to offend anyone with the question but I cannot understand something regarding your sport.

Why shoot at something that cannot shoot you back?

I enjoy what I have done in both paintball and archery, but in archery it was a cardboard target and in paintball you have to be good or you get shot back and lets face it I have yet to see a boar or a roo with a rifle.

So whats the facination? Is it a Freudian thing?
Geez ya know, I reckon I can almost see a correlation between the 2 :p:twisted:, some one anti shooting...someone anti bling, in both cases, dont like the station..change channels :angel:,

Stevo, you are right though but you must admit between Big Mac and Mac Nugget, on your screen everytime you log on, occasionally you just want curry for dinner.

Someone should get the Mac manager and the big Mac Scoop and clean up the Mac crap people have been dropping on their own front doorsteps.

Awww whats up mate, don't like it when you cop a bit of stick back, you feel free to drop the boot into others...but god forbid if it is returned. Yes there is a definate correlation between your post on shooting, it wasn't exactly pro shooting and was littered with anti sentiments " Why shoot at something that cannot shoot you back?". About as much thought went into that thread as I put into putting butter on my toast, so don't hound someone who perhaps did the same.

Got no qualms with putting forward a different perspective, but your comments were bordering on bullying...and mate if you are going to call me an FWIT, you better have the muscle to back it up,

Not calling you a FWIT, saying either I can't write it or you can't read it properly but far from calling you a 4 quit.;)

Why do all these wheel threads turn nasty:(

[beforethevision]

LOL


Seriously, has anyone with MT's tried going around a corner at speed? hahaha

For those that havent , 'tried' is the right word.

Both tyres are good, if i had the cash, id have the low profile for day to day use, and savage MTs for fun times. REGARDLESS OF CAR.

Cheers!

Because aftermarket wheels are personal choice, and people in general believe their way of thinking is the only way to live.

Nice defender, is that the only picture you have? You're a tease

ps... Calm down and move on....

pps.. Ive never seen flares start taking up the headlight surrounds

[dobbo]

Sorry for the display folks, however when you play with chimps you have to learn to through a few turds back in their general direction or you not only lose an arguement, you also get **** upon and others just know that you stink and do not want to be seen in public with you.

Yes Ron I am 31, yes I do occasionally act like I am 21, I guess that comes from having a care free lifestyle and trying to not act like an old opinionated fart. (believe me though Mr Bullpitt, I do have a real job, I'm just a low life hippy at heart)

Like anyone I can act responsible, mature even treat others with a certain level of civility and respect.

When it's called for.

Perhaps if the original post was worded in a positive note and not negative then none of this would have happened.

[CraigE]

Each to their own.
Personally I do not see the point of spending $100k plus on a 4x4 you will never use off road and adding heaps off bling including ridiculously big mags that just honestly look stupid.
I would much rather buy a decent sports car.
The Arctic Trucks though look good and are built for a purpose and psrt of their attraction is they are built for a use. Bling machines are look at me projects.
A nice set of mags always looks good, but the preposition that bigger is better is rubbish. I hink anything above 19s make the car look retarded, but that is just my opinion.
Bring back the deep dish mags of the 70s and 80s.:p

Especially with the angled rear window, it definitely gives the impression that the back bit is about to fall off!

We have a politician fella in our club that just recently bought himself an RRS with I think 19" RR Alloys Rims , he takes his vehicle everwhere , On and Off road, ha's got scratches all over his Alloy Rim. it's gota nice sounding 4.4L NA under the Bonnet thou.

Personally I think they're a Road car because of all that independant suspension , he gets hung up on obstacles quite a bit and to make matters worse he 's got road tyres on the alloy rims
I wouldn't take the vehicle offroad , and yes I would run Bling mags on it.
Each to their own i suppose.

[Redback]

This would have to be the ugliest, clumsiest looking thing ever!! It's almost like converting it was some sort of after thought :( It might do the job but at what it must have cost you'd think they'd ask for it to look good as well ;)

Interesting is about all I could say about this thing :D
Anyone else think it looks as if the back is about to fall off? ;)

Sorry i was only looking at the wheels:D

[Fusion]

Nice wheels Ron :D:D:p:wasntme:. I don't see the point of having such big rims with a strip of rubber around them either . Only time them rigs get used for 4wding is a rough driveway into a servo . :D:D:p:angel:

[BigJon]

I like the convertable Sport.

[BigJon]

It's almost like converting it was some sort of after thought :(

I think by definition it IS an afterthought. It wasn't factory built to be a 6 wheel fire engine, so the conversion was thought up afterwards - Afterthought :p:D.

[rovercare]

Shhhhhhhh, you'll get attacked :D

No he wont, cause he didn't call anyone idiots, fools, ridiculous, stupid:D

Hehe Ron cant read this anyway:cool:

[Lotz-A-Landies]

Look at a Rangie of any age and it says Range Rover by Land Rover
Not quite true, the early ones were Range Rover by either Rover Co Ltd or British Leyland - Land Rover as a separate entity didn't exist until the 1980's.

Doesn't the rear door look ridiculous - too small for the rest of the design.

They should have modified a front door or made the rear one as long as the front. They would have even been able to wind the rear glass the whole way down.

This thread is hilarious :D

[crash]

I want that blue expedition vehicle, very tidy setup.
Most of those Icelandic vehicles have very little suspension lift, along with a small body lift as they do not require the suspension flex for their type of 4wding, big tyres mean better flotation on the snow. Food for thought, big rims are okay off road - big rims 19"+ with 44'" = less sidewall flex than due to less side wall height than 16" rim and 44" rubber.
