Good luck with the mods, will follow with interest.

I've already been asked for first dibs on these by someone. Why are the basic wheels and tyres so attractive. 2016 D4 HSE

The steel wheels look really good, in white/cream.

They love those tyres in the States, known as pizza cutters...as they're about as wide

They aren't the basic wheels, they are the HD wheels, I think. The look (and are) wider than the std wheels and much stronger.

Just look good, and I agree with Greeni, they look great in white (cream/stone with the green colour of the truck perhaps)...?

It's an ex LR car and apparently did have white steels which then got painted black by the selling dealer. It's never had the proper XS alloys. I love the colour, looks very similar to my Tonga Green RR I had.

Can't wait to see it in the flesh and get it home. 2016 D4 HSE

Well today I bought a Defender and will now have the longest week ever, waiting for it to be prepped.

Can't wait! 2016 D4 HSE

ps Reading your other thread about the troubles of buying a TDCi, I'm reconsidering selling my TD5 (2001MY with only 35k miles) to buy a newer model...
