Embarassed Lost accuracy in the interests of brevity (and still wasn't quickest Crying or Very sad ).

After 3 years on 35% profiles on a Subaru (Legacy 3.0 8) , not Impreza ) I LOVE the 17" rims for rocky tracks and comfortable ride, but I was too hasty in the comment! Embarassed .

Brain is still Series IIa Shocked but body now D3 - and lovin' it! Very Happy

A 2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods

Hmmmm, old brain, new body..... How do I go about upgrading the wife like that? Mr. Green I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Speaking for SA and surrounding countries - 17 " are much more readily available

I think its nearer 50:50 between 17'ers and 18/19'ers actually DG.

We had a couple of tight spots in Tong last week where the only way forwards was to let the tirewall gently drag round treestumps and rocks whilst kicking the whole car sideways - glad I had plenty of rubber during those manouvres. To be fair, the 17 combos seem to be cheaper than others too. Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
