Reckon so, they coped with the Yorkshire pot holes and a bit of Dales off road when we visited my Ma earlier this year.

Westville - are you putting them on stock or colouring them first? Tempted to get mine 'darkened' somewhat and have already added the black centre caps to them???

I'm buying them from an Evoque owner who has fitted 20" wheels etc - these are 2 weeks old and are fitted with tyres. So at first I will try them out as is - but I do fancy darker/black wheels to continue my monochrome theme on the car - so may have them coloured later.
I've already got the black/silver centre caps and matching tyre valve caps Whistle

certainly is and they all cost cash!

I don't mind too much adding personal touches at my expense as I currently plan keeping the car till it dies so most things are cheaper than chopping it in and switching motor yet again!!!

Another vote for 18" Scorpion Verde. Fitted 4 wheels since I bought the car and 5000 miles on average 40MPG.
Just done 2000 miles from Northumberland to south of Spain, so far coping well with all the rutted tracks in costa del sol no problem. I think 18" wheels look better on the fl2 than the 17" though.

Got them from fleabay - make an offer here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151585981733?_tr...EBIDX%3AIT

Easy fit - provide added brake lights and improved ground level reversing light

I am also running these. The handling is excellent with the Scorpions and the fact they are 8x. Miles better than my 19s & continentals.

Purchased mine last year £500 new never fitted, scorpions hold the road and no signs of wear on the outside tread of the fronts, soak up bumps and pot holes with ease.

Those LED lights to replace the reflectors, you need to seal them before you fit them, mine filled with water within the first week, took them off and binned them.

I've got my new wheels now so will soon be checking out all your feedback for myself Very Happy Bow down just need it to stop raining long enough to get them on the car Big Cry

The LEDs I had were the opposite I had to trim down the sealant with a razor to get them to sit flast - suppose it depends on which supplier you use - I have no complaints about mine Thumbs Up No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS
