Oh yes........

That looks more like it in my opinion. Will look better proportioned still with the deployable steps on.

Very nice.

Is it in access height in that photo or normal running height?

That is normal running height apparently. It does seem high up but then again I'm used to a Sport until recently. It goes up more when the button is pressed though, but not much. I'm going to have the garage check its set at standard when its in. 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography in black

Looks spot on to me if it's in running mode.

Mine looks a lot higher than that on 20's but the 21's must fill the arches a bit more.

I agree the 20" can look a tad small, this photo posted back thread......

....... to me there looks to be too much arch space going on there.

I've been scrutinising L405s and L322s on the road and on the net since I got it to see which looks right. 21s fill the gap better than 20s and allow greater flexibility with kerbs, parking, bumps etc than really low profiles on 22s do. The 22s that were on it wouldn't have lasted long before they were kerbed where we live.

That said the turbine style of 22 looks super on these, but the ones I got are more practical I thought. 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography in black

Just to clarify I think my cars suspension was raised when the photograph of the wheel was takes in that photograph, but I agree 21" wheels do fill the gap much better.

I like both your old and new wheels.

But the new ones do look more ... err ... something.

I can't think of the right word - it is positive though What do I put here then?
