What d'ya think?

Thinking of buying some RR évoque 19" alloys style 5 for my freelander 2. Does anyone have these or know of any pictures with these on a freelander 2? Would love to see what they'd actually look like before I buy some. What are your opinions on these alloys? Cheers!

Ah thanks for that mate! They look really good, what's the difference between diamond and painted?? (Sorry for being a total noob) should I be going for one over the other?

Diamond cut have a polished face where as the painted ones don't,if you are going to use them all year round then I would go for painted ones as the diamond cut ones don't like the salt on the roads and corrode easily,mine are for summer use only and I put my original wheels back on fro the winter.

diamond cut have a ground bear metal face, as if they have just come off a laithe and had clear lacquer applied

diamond cut are fine, unless you break the lacquer, then you get a bit of water working its way beneath that look like white worms, don't chip them and they are fine Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Paul, I notice you have LR Branded wind deflectors that fit inside the window Channel! Can I ask where you obtained these from? Are they Heko? I'd like to get a set!

Hi, threads a little old but a question..

Do they fit straight on without the need for any spacers etc etc. I am thinking of buying these?? Thoughts?

Never understood this fascination with wheels. When you are in the car you can't see them. When it's moving you can't see them and when its parked in a row of cars you can't see them. It's a bit like how my wife will agonise for ages about the colour of a new carpet but if you ask her what colour carpet someone else has she has never noticed. Very Happy

The only wheels that have impressed me are the ones on Rolls Royces where the centre badge is always upright even when the wheel is turning. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
