Question for the L322 owners

[DirtyDawg]

Gents,
Who has aftermarket 22"+ rims on their vehicle? I want to pimp mine up a bit as it won't be seeing any dirt, my only concern is its enormous weight and are the aftermarket wheels rated for a 3 tonne vehicle?
Some pics and brands would be appreciated.TIA

RangeRovers.net is probably your best bet for this one.

I can only plead with you not to do it, it's only a small step from 22" wheels to gold teeth, furry top hats and bull horns on the front.

If you want to look like a drug dealer, please do the other L322 owners of the world a favour and buy a Cayenne instead.. :)

Dirtydawg,
I will concur "Dont do it".
I have seen many customers finally get there choice of vehicle & then get 20's or even 22's & then end up hating the ride with a pasion.
Not a lot of sidewall flex with 20/22's & the vibration of the deisel lead to a very uncomfortable ride.:(
Just some food for thought.
You save for a beautiful vehicle then spend some good dollars only to be dissapointed.
Cheers;)

Old thread but I have just joined...... Nothing wrong with the right set of 22" rims in my opinion, lots of people have commented on my Rangey being a Special Edition or similar, parked next to even a brand new SC model in work my dealership MD commented on how good mine looked.

As for making the ride terrible, that's crap too, in fact when I put my 19's back on the roll in the corners was awful, the sidewall flex doesn't make a major difference to the ride quality and I am talking terrible New Zealand roads here....... :D

I am talking terrible New Zealand roads here.......

Come to Australia, the road are worse.

I have 20” on my RR and if I had the choice I would have 18” on but not for ride comfort as this can be improved with 20” by simply lowering the tyre pressure ( and the and the milage of the tyres ), I would like to be able to fit 18” rims so I can fit off road tyres.

So far I have not found one decent set of off road tyres that fit the 20”

This is the only complaint I have about the my 08 RR as it limits my off road use.

Ok i'll concede those 22s do look not half bad......

I think because they look like they could have been a stock option, aren't stupidly flashy chrome and the tyre profile has been kept large enough to not look like elastic bands barely stretched round the rim. I like. :o

What are they from? Jaguar XJR?

I felt the roads in Australia are much better than NZ??

Glad you like the wheels they are Redbourne Duke in 22x9.5 wearing 285/35/22 Yokohama Avid SUV tyres, the reason I went for them is the almost factory look I didn't want a "bling bling" look but wanted something a bit more subtle. I totally agree that chrome wheels are terrible, in fact the ONLY vehicles they suit are old American cars like Impalla's etc.... NOT SUBARU BLOODY IMPREZAS etc etc hahahaha :D

They look very good for 22"s. Most are straight out bling, but they look quite factory.

Mine came with 18"s then I got a set of genuine 19"s but wouldn't think about going past 20"s myself. I check out the eBay rims every so often, but not much ever turns up in Adelaide :(
