ive been offered some overfinch 22 inch wheels with new tyres for a cracking price but what they like with handling, ride quality and other things that effect the niceness off a FFRR onto no6 Range Rover

Have to say that in my opinion (and experience ) RRs look great with 22 BUT and a big BUT, the compromises are not for everyone. Ride is this biggest but another consideration includes the quality of the roads and the punctures you will get. The tyres are expensive and dont wear well so expect to buy regular replacements. They are effectively large Rubber bands ! Many go back to 20's after a while!

I think big wheels with rubberband tyres just looks so wrong on an off roader, especially on RR, 19 or 20 look perfect.

Have to agree with Kin, 4x4's should have more meat on wheels not less.

Agree with all thats been said, I like the OverFinch wheels but would never get them due to the cost, wear, crap off road etc.

simple don't do it, leave the 22's to Sport owners or if you must go for Overfinch wheels get the 20" the genuine ones were on a huge discount recently.

just as i thaught only good for the pimp bus look with crap ride and so on. Im going to stick to my 19s and just get new tyres as i do go off road , thru muddy holes and country lanes it does get used properly (a bit too proper at times ) lol
