Alloy wheels
What's people's thoughts on alloy wheel sizes. Most photos I've seen are on 21" and 22" - anyone seen the 20" size, do they look too small for the wheel arches ?

My opinion is smaller wheel equals more "rubber" better ride comfort more quiet & better off-road
What ever size chosen the actual diameter will be the same (standard Landrover wheels)Peter

Agree on the ride quality - sometimes that the smaller alloys look lost on big cars like the discovery.

My one is coming with the bog standard 19" wheel. I'm not a fan of the look of them so may get changed to 20s or see what the RR 19s are like.
These are the 19" and 20" wheels
