Welcome to the forum I would imagine the ride will be a bit harsh with those wheels on Cheers Ian

Very nice, but must be a bone rattler with those wheels. I'd get em off and have a set of 19s or 18 instead, much more refined ride.
17" for winter & off-road & 18" for summer would be my choice.

well picked it up today, only fault is the PDC isn't working which looking on the forum could possible be a break in the loom behind the rear bumper, great car and on the motorway drives fine but a little harsh when on side roads due to the rubber bands on it.

I don't think you can call those tyres rubber bands, more like spray on tyres!
Have fun with the new toy

this is pre wash and polish but the eagle eyed will spot a couple of changes.
I have since cleaned but too dark to take photo, looking through the history last night my faulty PDC was diagnosed as a front loom but not repaired/replaced so will have to see how easy it is to get the front bumper off

I had this car in my ebay watch list for ages... It does look very nice but I decided that in the end I just preferred the standard HSE wheels.
Nice wheels though, just not for me..

I am on the fence with the wheels, I bought this one as history is comprehensive, I know you can buy cheaper but can be false economy and I managed to knock a good chunk of the asking price.
been on a 300 mile drive today and so smooth and quiet love it.

I have been running 22s for 6 years...never had issue with the ride....tho as many have said bumper roads made it a littlemore harsh but nothing that would not be able tolive with as I find it is not too harsh..
Also...when I changed my wheels I seriously considered these ones...Hawke Chayton ...as they say it's a matter of personal preferenceand on a car this big I think they look
