these are whats being to latest RRS, you can get them in 22" as well, aftermarket jobs
Even easier to kerb than Stormers or Vspokes, as they stick out slightly more

Thought Steering Dampers were an acronym of Ramblers

The D3 might get the option of dynamic handling pack, like the RRS did originally, which included, amongst other stuff, 20" alloys, and dampened steering rack

20" All Black Stormers
Has anyone seen the 20" Black Stormers? I saw them on Auto World website, but they disappeared very quickly. Anyone know of any other place they may be sold? (I dont want the polished/black ones)

Don't talk to me about "bay" (who also posted under the name "SteveHooper")
He's the gay porn escort / scam artist who sold me some side tubes for £150 knowing they wouldn't even fit a Disco 3!!!
Full story here: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/post259457.html#259457
I still have these in the garage as he won't answer calls now - must post them back - ideally through the rear of his D3 pictured above. I can't sell them because I don't even know what make of vehicle they're made for!

Those wheels look fantastic! Would go for the same design in 19".
The pictures I've seen of the standard '09MY wheels for the D3 have been dissappointing, I like the current ones better. Will be interesting to see what D3-specific 20's look like though!
By the way - is that pic taken at access height or do the 20's just fill up the wheel wells that much?

Looking at how low the front mud flap is to the ground, I'd definitely say access height.2005 D3 HSE 2011 D4 Landmark 2016 D4 HSE Lux

Same trick they're using with the press photography of the '09MY... makes it look sleeker and better proportioned than it actually is. Nevermind that actually driving at that height feels like bouncing on a springboard...
