they look cool.. but do they have the correct weight rating required?

Would look great if they had MT's on them too.

personally I wouldn't fit aftermarket alloys to my cars
usually invalidates insurance unless you inform them first
also, aftermarket are generally not as robust as OEM alloys meaning they corrode and are prone to cracks and damage easier

Like the style but would rather stick to a genuine LR part that's tested for the vehicle and its weight and capabilities - FL2 3.2 i6 - There is no Replacement for Displacement

If my wife ever sells my stuff for what I told her I paid for it, there will be some bargains out there!

They're a cool design and quite similar to the Evoque Style 6 20" wheels, (except the Wolfraces are diamond cut) which would certainly fit your FL2 and look good too. Perhaps you wouldn't want to go up to 20" wheels, but you would know they are definitely robust enough to withstand the rigours of our roads. I do like the style of the Wolfrace wheels though, very smart.

Each to their own but not my cup of tea. Jules

Not a fan of alloys with built in brake dust, the wheels will have a kg load rating, I think the LR wheels are rated at 925kg each.

Although my car colour is grey, this photo shows the wheels off better

I appreciate that alloy wheels are like shirts etc and some will like and some will hate Wink

I have used many aftermarket alloys and like ALL alloys if not looked after will look crap. My existing alloys, although not crap are showing some signs of corrosion. Mad

These wheels will cost £380 delivered. I don't need them but I think they would enhance the look of the vehicle. Would be nice to see some in the flesh though.

As for the brake dust look, well, my brake dust is always matt and not glossy Razz
