Depends if you want comfort or bling. Comfort small, bling large. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

I like black wheels. What size do you run now? and colour? Would you go for a genuine LR wheel or aftermarket/another manufacturer?
I have the 19" diamond turned Freelander 2 wheels in black. Look smart with the car and travel well in terms of ride comfort.
Thought about black details to match? E.g. front grille, side vents etc.. MY15, 2.0 Si4 HSE Luxury

hello mate, same as you, 19" diamond cut. Already have the black side grills and the black front grill, still unsure on the door handles and the chrome boot strip, decisions, decisions .......

I'm a fan of 'black pack', but I'd keep some small elements of the silver/chrome.
eg rear boot strip, grill surround, fog light surround & towing eye cover.
In my opinion, if you go red with all black bits then it could look like an 'entry level' model [to others].
[did my FL2 in 'black pack' but moved back from black to silver wheels as I felt my FL2's body colour was just too dark for black wheels].

Oh, I'd also look at black bonnet & tailgate lettering. Thumbs Up
