How does it ride?
They are SUV wheels made by Riva.
I have done just over 1k on them and the ride really is good, seeing as they are 22"
These wheels must have Spigot rings fitted and be digitally balanced.
There is more road noise being that the tyres are 265x35x22, but i had 19" on my 335i with a 35mm wall and they produced more road noise than the Evoque.

Yea, looks great thanks mate, seeing your pics inspired me with the masking tape
, i used some dental floss to cheese wire the old letters off after a bit of heating with a hair dryer. As you said, about a hours job, well worth doing. As you mentioned though, not cheap, i bought the same set as you and £70 for a few plastic letters is good business for someone !

Did you buy the kit (inc letter removing tool and adhesive removal tool) for £70 from powerfuluk or the 2 sets of letters for £70 total?

I just brought the bonnet and tailgate lettering for £70, and i was told there was a two week wait for the templates, but i noticed they did a complete package for the RR Vogue (including template) after i had placed my order, this was for £70 as well! maybe, they are the same size letters?
Maybe worth e-mailing them first before placing an order..
