What Wheels to go with

I currently have a set of 22" Overfinch Supersport wheels on my Java black TDI V8, they do look good and I do really like them, but I constantly find myslef looking at the original 20" stormer wheels.
So I would like to find out what the general census is on what wheels look best.

I know we should go with what we like and not what other people think, but it's only natural and I consider the opinion of you guys important. 2010 Alaska white 3.6TDi v8, heated steering wheel, Ipod connection, Aribica extended leather, Digital TV, voice activation, privacy glass, Dynamic pack
Now gone - Jaguar XKR4.2 v8 Supercharged
Gone - 08 RRS TDI V8 Java Black, Privacy glass 315 BHP tunit box.
Still have - Merc C200 sport
Yahaha FZ1000
Gone - BMW X5 3.0d sport

I think you have the best looking wheels on your car for the RRS - my view is the 20" just don't seem to fill the wheel arches fully.

Good choice. Jaguar XKR Convertible

The standard 10 spoke 20" are OK, or what about a set of genuine LR Stormers?
You can see them here along with various other LR wheels

I always consider changing the wheels on cars I own...........for once that has never been a consideration since my car left the factory with 20" stormers fitted!

Ok, ok so I am thinking about changing their colour a little Laughing

I had 22" Mertyle Leon wheels on my X5 and the ride quality was pretty bad.
The ride quality of my RRS with 22" is extremely compliant in comparison to the X5.

Never driven the RRS with 20" wheels 2010 Alaska white 3.6TDi v8, heated steering wheel, Ipod connection, Aribica extended leather, Digital TV, voice activation, privacy glass, Dynamic pack

It stands to reason that with a 22" wheel and a low profile tyre the ride quality will suffer, to what extent I dont know as I haven't put 22"s on yet. By the way agreed the Kahn RSX is a stunning looking wheel and I may well be sticking some on myself Thumbs Up

I really have got it into my head now to get some 22's. I have no idea why! Had the car 4 years so far and never changed a thing. Now within a week I'm after all kinds of bits to "pimp my ride" must be some kind of RRS midlife crisis thing...

I even want the Kahn bonnet stripe!!! HELP lol
