Quite loke it so far.
But 22 inch wheels?
I thought the D3 gave problems with 22 inch wheels unless you have the RRS rack? “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Matt looks very 8) but not sure if 22" wheels would look right. I like the look of the wheels you currently have on or the FFRR wheels I have on.MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

Ive heard aswell the 22" wheels (Copys) have issues with balancing and make the D3's drive with a shake
I also like the genuine Land Rover split rims (5 spoke) There is a few sets at Duckworths but they fit 106 Rated tyres and he told me that was ok
But after reading on here im not so sure

Wouldn't touch a tyre with only 106 load rating.
Yes, they'll fit and run on D3, but I wouldn't feel safe driving at the legal motorway speed.
Also insurance cover will be invalid should you have a bump....... always on the road less travelled 🚧

I think you would be better off having 20" stormers and fitting either Grabber UHP's or the LTZ's Ron has
Wouldn't touch the 22" or a 106 load rating TBH!I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Very nice. Good to see al the hard work coming together now. Not sure of the wheels though. But I am liking the retro look. Exposed rivets, just like on a 110 HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE
