I have a 2007 Vogue with the 7-Spoke 20" Wheels and am considering buying a new set of Factory 19" wheels when I the tyre change is due. I have has several Range Rovers on 20" Wheels (3) and the ride never seems as smooth and vibration free as it should be.
I have also has a a Discovery 3 (LR3) Metropolis with 19" wheels and the ride felt much more isolated from engine and road noise/vibration. I have asked several Land Rover Mechanics over the last few months and all have said that 20" is just to big for the L322 model drive setup and varying degrees of Torsional Vibration is inevitable on all models both Diesel and Petrol.
They stated that I you want to drive my 2007 as it was designed to be driven then 19" is the maximum given their extra sidewall height. I presume 18" would be a further improvement but that's going to far for me.
Comments appreciated?
20" Wheels on my Car that are OK but nothing special:
19" Wheels I am considering and like the look of:
