Dear forum members,
Could you post me photos of your P6 with either 14" and 15" rostyles?
Ideal would be side view photos of a 14" and 15" equipped car, so i can compare which optically looks better to me.
I would also request photos of the rear wheel arches to see the difference of the 14" and 15" rostyle wheel.

After i saw this picture of a paprika 3500S...
... i decided THIS IS MY WHEEL-STYLE!
I thought alot about the diffrent styles and types... but the Rostyle-look fits the Rover best i think.
I read almost trough all tire threats i could find on this forum and now i know that 14" Rostyles, or even 15" are not easy to find. When i saw 4x refurbished P5b-wheels on a german marketplace at 1.100 € (935 GBP) i decided to search through the same alternative rostyle looking wheels a lot of you guys also did.
I also want my P6 to look a little more "powerful", my actual wheels hide deep inside the wheels arches and i would like to change this look. In this forum i read that i need to work on the D-Post area with a jack to press them a little more outwards. I wouldn care about this, but i dont want to create and build a new D-Post area to fit the wheels. I dont want to create a wide body design, it should just look a bit wider if you know what i mean.
What is -based on your experience- the minimum offset for 205 tires on a 6" wide wheels?
Aren't the 14x6" minilite-wheels 30mm offset? is this the possible minimum with minor modifications on d-posts?
I am in contact with a company in the USA which offers Rostyle-Style steel-wheels. They are not able to change the pcd but they can change the offset/backspace according to their website.
I am awaiting their price offer...
My Plan is to change the Rovers pcd from 5x5" to 5x4,75" which isn't such a big diffrence than going to 5x4,5".
I have 2 options for me: 14x6" wheels with 205/75 R14, or 15x6" wheels with 205/65 R15.
Both have the same price, my personal favor is the 14" wheel.
What do you guys think/suggest?
Thanks, Simon
