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!

Most have standard wheels as they prefer not to invalidate their warranty!

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!

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.

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.

I think it looks good mate!

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
