Saw a silver D3 in Torquay at the weekend with Stormer alloys, looked great any body have any pics with these wheels on a D3?
Also is it possible to fit these wheels?

Thank you for that Martin, looks very good! Think when tyres wear out i will bite the bullet.
Anyone advise not getting after market non LR wheels out of magazine etc? Certainly lot cheaper

My main issue with replica wheels is the quality - I've seen other replica wheels (for the MINI) on which the paint has completely flaked off within 6 months 
Also the OEM (Land Rover in the case of the Stormers) will have certain quality requirements which may not necessarily be matched by replica wheels.

Yes, I agree about the OEM wheels quality and also got some RRS 20's but I opted for the other ones like 5 pairs in the photo on the top of that link, the orange RRS marketing shots always has these. I think they retain a little more chunckiness while still being 20" and beautiful. a 285/50 is perfect in the wheel well too, no rubbing on access height or full turns on curbs either.
if anyone is interested, i'll get some photos up. 96 Disco I, 210,000 miles - still going strong
