New Defender Wheels
So I personally think the Discovery 3 looks best bog standard, no sport grill no disco 4 rear lights just as it was, i think its ageing well and looks better and better as time passes.
However I needed some new 18" tyres and they were coming in at half the value of the car and sat in my garage were the 20" rims I took off my new Defender so it was a no brainer just to shove them on and try it.
The 255/60R20 tyres are considerably bigger than standard but they do not rub, speedo is about 4 mph out at 70, it wasn't spot on before anyway.
It is 1.9m tall now which is tight to my local car park but gets in ok
mpg maybe down by 1mpg but nothing major
I still prefer how it looked before but I can live with the new wheels.

Your right the D3 does look good standard but those wheels suit it.
