silver.

In typical STW style i am going for something not on your list.
Bottom ones in gun metal grey.
Posted 5 months ago # -
Definitely gun metal/black - and probably the bottom style for me....
Posted 5 months ago # -
oddly enough that bottom one is listed as "Silver grey" so maybe the photo doesnt do it justice.
Posted 5 months ago # -
so we've narrowed it down to 7 spoke, not modular.
grey or black then
Posted 5 months ago # -
I like the top ones. Remind me of the wheels on my first ever car
Black is the colour you want

1st ones in black..it is a ute yeah not some sort of ponced up thing?
Posted 5 months ago # -
My vote goes for the second ones in black. Nothing says classy Land Rover gent like seven triangular holes in each wheel.

no its a poncy faux x 4
(freelander)Running AT2s on the OEM alloys, want to put them on steels and some bog standard road tyres on the alloys for spring-autumn.

BTW - 7" or 8" wide?
does it matter if I already have tyres - will they fit on either rim?
Posted 5 months ago # -
The first in black, If the original wheels are 7" wide they would stretch onto an 8" no problem. What is the tyre profile?
Posted 5 months ago # -
Black modulars get my vote.
width does matter to both the tyre you have and the clearance in the wheel arch. Get as close to your existing alloys as you can (thats the easy option)

If you can see what colour your wheels are, you're using your Land Rover wrong. Have you considered a Fiesta?
Posted 5 months ago # -
Standard Landy steel wheels, in white, obviously.
Those above look like they belong on a Fast Show sketch.
And please, no checkerplate!
Edit: Sorry, just read that it's a Freelander.
Go for whatever looks best on the back of a recovery truck.Posted 5 months ago # -
cheers stotti. Will measure the alloys to check before ordering.
but going for 8spokes. Modular look like trailer wheels

Standard Landy steel wheels
if it was a defender then Id concur.
Hmmm, checkerplate on the bonnet anyone? Now LET'S SOFTROAD!
Posted 5 months ago # -
I didn't think you could get 8 spokes with the freelander bolt pattern, I've only seen them in the defender pattern.

argh, I think you're right. I was mis-reading the product info...
Posted 5 months ago # -
A silver LR needs black wheels, preferably in matt finish. I like the first choice.
Posted 5 months ago # -
BeCheyzus a Freelander?
Don't forget this:
Posted 5 months ago # -
First ones in black.
The other ones just make me think of...
Posted 5 months ago # -
Surprised no one's mentioned these yet....
Pimpin'........

Rockplough - those Suzuki's are ace. Better built than a Landrover too.
Posted 5 months ago # -
Might have to change plan anyway - there's no such thing as steel wheels for Freelanders 2004 model.
might just have to buy up OEM alloys off eBay and use them. Or just sod it and leave the AT2s on all year round. Theyre not too bad on the road, and they sure as hell dont cost enough extra diesel to justify 4x alloys & tyres....
