OOps: somehow I sent an "empty" reply. 17" or 18"? Depends on how you use the vehicle. If you go off-road, the 17" will give you more tire depth a d complance, which greatly increases if you air down your tires.. The 18* may "marginally" improve on-road handling.. Then you need to look at tire availability for each size, especially for off-road tires (probably a small issue, now that many 4x4 have gone to (at least) 17" to accomodate larger brakes, Used to be that the "gold standard" in availability of off-road tires was 16"....... for the additional tire wall depth.

I have gone for the 17” alloys in the end.

Went to my agents today and basically they have my vehicle in the showroom. I had a bit of buyers remote when I saw the steel wheels. However on reflection I think I will still like the alloys.

It’s Donny “everyone has it” Grey

I have also gone for the Donny Gray, Gunmetal gray,
I have decided it is easier to describe it as Metallic Black
