Looking to put some wheels on our newly acquired LR3. I was thinking of just putting some factory 20" Range Rover wheels on. I'd like to get some different ideas for wheels, so if ya got em post em. Thanks.

Here is what I did for the months without snow. Please post you comments..............

2005 LR LR3SE V8 Java Black with black leather, 3rd row, moonroof, heated front & rear seats, all options except center console cooler and NAV.
I get tons of compliments on this set-up and the local dealership said I have the best looking LR3 they have seen. It rides very smooth and corners like its on rails. Please excuse the rusty factory LR brake rotors. I am looking for some drilled/slotted replacements. (Any ideas?)

Looks Good! Very 'stealth'. 22's look great on the LR3 (see my profile for a pic of mine 'cause I don't know how to post a pic here).
Check ebay for cross drilled rotors. There are at least 2 guys selling them on there. They usually offer rust proof coating also. I wanna do mine soon too.

Thanks Fanatic. I checked out your gallery and those wheels are sick man! Your Rover looks like a million bucks with that setup. What kind of size/wheels are they? Redbourne's? what kind of rubber?Are your brake calipers painted? I did mine in red and it added alot of detail to my wheels. Dont like Red?? Try Yellow calipers.
Very classy Rover indeed.
Here is what I am going to go with next he he he he ..........

Thanks, I am VERY happy with the wheel choice. It's always nerve racking purchasing wheels you have never actually seen on the car. I got lucky though. They are 22x8.5 front and 22x9.5 rear and wrapped in Dunlop HTRZ tires. The brand is Forte. I was also considering painting the calipers, but not sure of the color. I like red, but I don't want to be cleaning them all the time. I may have them ceramic coated in a bright silver/chrome type color though.
I have the stock 18's for Winter if it comes down to it. They need rubber badly though. On my last vehicle (QX4) I kept my custom wheels on all year and they lasted just fine.
