Thanks. My thoughts are heading in the same direction. Which 21's did you choose? MY23 D350 HSE

22s look very nice especially Style 6, but of course 20 or 21 will be a bit more comfortable.

Ive not noticed any real difference in ride comfort between 20, 21 or 22". Air suspension sorts that out.

I have both 22 & 20 for my car, and I would say that the 22's are significantly harsher and sharper handling on the road and there is definitely significantly more road noise (there is a note to that effect in the LR sales literature I think). But the harshness is not unacceptable just when compared to the others. The 20's are quieter and more comfortable and my preference. However, my lane is like a washboard potholed test track at the moment and despite the bangs and crashes the 22's show no sign of suffering. I, as many know, use my car for everything. Mounting the kerb using the 22's is a matter of 'gently does it' and preferably at a 45 degree approach rather than climbing with the sidewall.

I think they're the best-looking wheel. |

Although I don't mind the 19"s:

That's very useful, thanks Nick. I do 25-30k miles pa so 21's it is.

I've got the 22" which are shod with 275/40/22 Continentals - comparing to my 255/55/19s on my L322 I feel the ride is slightly harder (as is usually the case with the low profiles) but was expecting it as there is so much less side wall to help absorb the bumps. On smooth roads I notice the difference less , but as already stated, they do add to the look of the car with the right colour combination. Steve

I've just finished putting 707's onto mine - it came with 20's & swapped them over this morning.

Why mess around with silly little 22" wheels? If you really want to comprehensively hobble the car and display your complete lack of taste, go straight to these:
