Default RANGE ROVER SPORT featuring RINSPEED 23" Wheels

Hey guys I just wanted to share this pic of a sweet RRS. The wheels are manufactured by RINSPEED, a noted PORSCHE tuner from Switzerland. This wheel is a really great compliment to the RRS and is a 23x10 Monoblock construction.

You guys can feel free to take a look at our RINSPEED section to see their 997 and CAYENNE Products.

I love the RR SPORT with the monoblock style, kind of gives it more of a OEM look (vs. the multipiece offerings), and also brings out the lowering. What do you guys think?

looks nice but is that even drivable, hitting a bump with SUV weight coming down on it sounds very bad for that thin of a tire

The tire is load rated for SUV's so potholes are not a issue for the tires

Looks pretty good. I've seen severals pics of the rinspeed wheels....they have that teutonic look. I think the tires need more rubber. It is an suv. Imo it would be better with one size smaller wheel with one size higher profile tire. Still looks good though.

I really like the look. I have seen a few of the RR here with some hideous chrome wheels. These fit the styling quite nicely

Such a great looking truck. Definitely one of the better looking SUV's out now. I like those rims.
