LR fit max 20" for a reason, I'd go to 20" or even 19" if you use it off road. |

LR don't endorse ANY 22" wheels from ANY 3rd party wheel manufacturer.

pothole and get right on the phone tomorrow and start a claim, thats what you pay your road tax for| 47p2 Member Since: 05 Oct 2010 Location: Gone Beyond, Subaru Posts: 8048

The pothole needs to be reported first or the council will reject the claim saying they can't repair it if they don't know about it |

Last time I tried to claim for a damaged wheel, they said they would only even "consider" a claim, if the offending pothole had been marked for repair by spray painted marks, but not yet repaired, as the marks indicated that they were aware if its existance, but hadn't gotten round to repairing it...... |

I bought my old L322 brand new from Parks and they supplied and the 22" Overfinch wheels...and they put them on 2 demo's at the time, so I'd say they'd be in a pickle with that one!! Anyway that was then, and this is now, so putting my old 19"'s back on tomorrow.....tempted to just leave them and get genuine 22" Overfinch and see where that takes me. all smug in my new plug! 2021 Westminster Black D300 2013 Vogue SE - gone Some Porsche Cayenne guff pretending to be a 4x4!! 2006 Vogue 2004 Vogue 2001 Vogue |
