OK, looking to get a second set of alloys for my Vogue - do we know if the RR Sport alloys are the correct offset etc for a Vogue?

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for winter tyres?

Ta!

IIRC: They are different but I don't know how interchangeable they are.

Why not a set of Vogue alloys? There appears to be quite a few on eBay... As the RRSport ones are also popular with the VDub T5 brigade.

You also might want to think about a set of 19" rims instead of 20"... The 19" typically have narrower tyre options, which is better in the snow and you'll be able to get a set of snow-chains on too if needed.

As for winter tyres, the Vredesteins get good reviews.

Cheers - I've been told the 20" are required to clear the Brembos. Not too sure how true that is.... I've seen some identical ones as mine - I just want to give myself the greatest choice.

You might want to just double check that information...

On the Range Rover Sport (which is what I've got), 20" clear the brakes but most 19" rims don't. However, there are 2x 19" rims that do clear the brakes.

Not owning a Vogue, I've not looked into it in any detail but it might be worth doing a quick search for information on fullfatrr.com.

I didn't know about that forum - very interesting, thank you.
