    Are these RR, RRS or Disco3 rims?

    Can anyone tell me if these rims came off a L322 Rangie, Range Rover Sport or a Disco 3? They are 20" rims, but I haven't seen them on anything in real life or in any LR pictures on the web.

    I have emaild the guy selling them but he doesn't know, which sort of makes me wonder.....

    i was going to guess range rover sport....but i thought probably not very helpful guessing so i searched images on google looks like i guessed right

    although these two images came from the over finch site.....so may not be a factory wheel anyway hence why he is not sure

    Hey - thanks for that. I'll go searching again for RRS.

    He says they are Factory Range Rover, so was a bit puzzled about not finding any pictures. Maybe they are aftermarket "grey" imports from Italy that seem pretty common on eBay?

    They are pretty bling, but I need some quiet tyres as the Goodyear MTRs are too noisy to drive around on every day. 19" might be a better choice when renewing tyres, but these are selling for less than the price of the tyres alone.

    Anyone know if RRS and RR Vogue rims are a direct swap?

    I'm thinking you really meant "drools".

    From memory I think they might be, provided you use the correct wheel nuts.
    There is a difference in the taper of the wheel nuts and using the incorrect ones will result in your wheels coming loose and / or falling off!

    Obviously I no longer have easy access to TSBs, but I am sure there was one regarding this exact question a year or so ago. Perhaps someone still working for LR can confirm?

    Range Rover 06MY alloy wheels have a modified wheel nut seat taper angle and are installed with new wheel nuts, which are also common to Discovery 3/LR3 and Range Rover Sport. These wheel nuts are not compatible with pre-06MY vehicles.

    Similarly, pre-06MY wheel nuts should not be used on 06MY vehicles and importantly the locking wheel nut kit must match the wheels being installed.

    Care must be taken not to transfer spare wheels across from these different model year vehicles, and under no circumstances should pre-06MY wheel nuts be used on the steel space saver spare wheel introduced at 06MY.


    I've never seen those wheels on any Land Rover from the factory. I would imagine they'd have a Land Rover part number cast into them if they are genuine.

    After a rather wordy email from me to the seller questioning whether they are Factory Rims as stated in his advert, or as to how a set of OverFinch rims might have ended up in Sydney, I got a very short reply which said:
    "They are aftermarket".

    So - not factory at all .

    Thanks for all the detective work. Will keep looking for some road-going rims with tyres off a genuine LR.
