Sounds a good idea lol alass mine were dearer than that & I have only advertised them while they are in my garage waiting to get fitted but if they sell that is good, if they don't they go on mine when I get time. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

Surely putting those 'spport' wheels on your HSE would cheapen the look Question

Not sure really, the Tripple Sports do look very nice but the Diamond Turned style look awsome & when I offered them up to the car they really did look good - so what to do? Maybe have the sports for Winter & the others for Summer lol..problem is space in garage to store! (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

Just a thought, if they are the same size, put two Triple Sports on one side and two Diamond on the other, that way you have the best of both worlds and a spare set exactly the same in the garage Thumbs Up 09 FL2 HSE auto Lago Grey

Guys just to let you know:

The latest shipment of FL2 Sport to Cyprus (40 cars in total if I recall correctly) had their spare wheels stolen before they arrived in Cyprus. There is a possibility that the wheels mentioned on gumtree are from the bunch of wheels stolen.

The police are investigating AFAIK.

(I am also waiting for a replacement spare wheel as my car was one of the 40 unlucky ones).

Regards,
vibecy

The spare wheel in the sport is a 17" (BLACK STEEL WHEEL) If I had all the money I spent on Beer!, I'd spend it on Beer!.

If it worried me I'm sure CG would take them off my hands he still seems to be looking for a decent set of wheels Whistle

If they were off the Cypprus shippment shipping must be slow I bought these nearly two months ago. Still if you have no wheels they will take longer to arrive I supppose. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

I wonder where abouts in the UK the wheels left? Would have thaught it would be difficult to steal 40 wheels. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

As far as the dealer told me (true or not, no idea) 08MY and 09MY used to be shipped with their boot compartment locked. There was a health and safety rule that from now 2010MY onwards when the cars are shipped via vessels, their boot needs to be unlocked - I can't imagine why though.

Whoever nicked them had plenty of time to do so, as they removed the steel support pole cap holding the spare, removed the spare and then screw back on the cap (!).

I will let you know if anything else comes up.

Strange why they would insist on the doors being unlocked. I see many a LR vehicle on Transporters heading for Southampton Docks and LR like many other makers put labels across all the doors so that anyone can see if the door has been opened since it left the production line.
