I just took the plunge...I was sick of cleaning 3tons worth of brake dust:

That looks soooooooo good

i do like that look best on white or black lr's

She's saying that because she knows what makes sense and what doesn't.

I know it looks totally cool, have though about it myself, but the design of that rim, and most made for the modern lr, lends itself to just getting scared up and looking like A - ss. At least the boring silver still just looks like silver when scared up. Although, the brake dust adhesion looks like crap too...

The best black wheels to me are the recessed disco II steel type that are much harder to screw up. I imagine if there were an 18" version made specifically for the lr3 we'd all jump on a set.

I'd sign up for sure.

Sorry ps. If my wife ever sees that someone says she is right when it comes to the rover I'm gonna have to come find you and have some words! (or a beer one of the two)

Looks good. Did you spray paint or powder coat?

Thanks for the compliments. It was time to rotate the tires anyway, so I taped them off and sprayed them 2 at a time. I used rustolum metallic (pictured). Its a nice color and texture match to the fender trim. Its also a bit sparkley like the OEM silver wheels.
