Replace 17" with Evoque 18" wheels - picture

I know quite a few have already replaced their 17" FL2 wheels with these Evoque 18" ones - I needed new tyres anyway and managed to pick up a set for less than 4 new 17" tyres would have cost.

Here's a picture halfway through in case anyone's contemplating the change too.

I had always discounted those wheels, as I didn't like them.

But they really suit the FL2 Thumbs Up

I think they might actually look better on the FL2 than the Evoque! I really only bought them for the tyres but I quite like them now Laughing

why not go the wholehog and get 19"?
there's dozens out there on the open market, and the FL2 can be specced' with 19"ers as standard. Mine are MSW's:

Be concerned about strength of aftermarket wheels designed for car on a 2 ton brick. Rather stick with genuine LR. 2014 SE Loire Blue SD4 Auto (MY15)

I can never understand why people get worked up about wheels. When you are inside you can't see them, when you are moving no one else can and when parked, most of the time, you can't see them either. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

My 2012 GS on 2015 Evoque 18" wheels. Bought brand new for less than the price of four replacement 17" tyres from a LR specialist.
