It actually rides really great! I have been getting great compliments on the wheels where ever I go. What wheels do you guys have on your evoque? Please post pictures!

RE: Hello From California!
Most have standard wheels as they prefer not to invalidate their warranty!
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Hello From California!
Wheel change voids warranty ??? How absurd, never heard such a thing! What is absurd though is wheels that extenuate the piddley little brakes these things have! I like the style of rim but not the size im afraid!

RE: Hello From California!
Land Rover will use the fitting of any non OEM and non LR approved extras to the car as reason for voiding the warranty of parts they are fitted to - the transmission system is not designed to carry wheels bigger than 20". Also in Europe LR had to fit those tiny "spoilers" you have on the rear wheel arches, not
for areodynamic reasons but because in Europe we have a rule that requires the wheel to be totally covered by the wheel arch and that little extension is there for that reason!
The car looks very nice but a) the wheels and tyres make the wheel arches look half filled and b) with so little sidewall in most of Europe I'm afraid those wheels and tyres would not last a day with our pot-holed roads.

RE: Hello From California!
I think it'd would also be difficult from an insurance perspective to change to 22" in UK. Good luck though if it ever snows in CA.
Arrived 16 December 2011: Prestige SD4 auto 5dr in OG with Adaptive Dynamics, Adaptive Xenons, Surround Cameras, Auto Dimming Rearview, Grey Oak Wood, Spare Wheel and Powered Tailgate.

RE: Hello From California!
Looks good Evo! Maybe I will see you in fontana next year for the NASCAR race!
Tim those rules apply here to in the US. If you put wider wheels to have to cover them with mud flaps. In Cali they don't enforce it as much if it's mild
