I like the look of that car in silver. I was seriously considering one of those before I bought the e55T instead. Things to consider: a; the drivetrain is the same as that in the v8 jaguar S-type, so you should hope that the tranny programming is better (see www.thelurch.com for nauseating details); b; with those rims, you really need to get some bigger brake discs on there!!! those tiny teacup-saucers look like they won't stop that thing very effectively.
from most of the folks i know that are into those, including my local jag/LR dealer (i just offed my S type R a few months ago), the brakes are not that great in the RR sport, and the cars burn through brakes in no time flat (that is a very heavy vehicle). my service adviser said there were lots of people coming in for new brakes within a few thousand miles. pissed off about it, too, because brakes aren't covered by the warranty and end up costing about $1500 or so for a set from the dealer.
in other words, looks great, hope you're leasing; welcome to hell!
enjoy the ride! (seriously, i hope i'm wrong about everything above and you have a much better experience of ownership).

Not feeling the wheels at all. Needs something with more lip like an Iforged or HRE. Kahn wheels look so cheap compared to the cars they are usually installed on.
I do like the painted-to-match panels, though.

it is just silly to use low profile tyres with a range rover. you will scuff the alloy wheels in no time! especially if you intend to use it off road as well. I disagree with the concept....

Well I think retail was like 1.5k a wheel back when I got them(2003)...there are a lot of competitive sponsors nowadays on this board I am sure you would pay much less
My roof is painted black.
