Finally got the 20” wheels I needed. Found a guy who had bought these wheels as a winter set for his RR Sport. Came with TPMS sensors and Cooper Zeon LTZ tires in 285/50 20. Spent Saturday plastidipping the black. Plan on powder coating them when I eventually buy new tires.

Fitted them Sunday morning and immediately got it muddy. [thumbsupbig]

Have picked it up on Friday going to do a day trip north tomorrow, had a few extras added like the tie down rails in back, ordered in 5 seat configuration. Have the heated and cooled seats and seems to work a treat on hot days, pro pack and a few other things too.

I have investigated and spoken to a few people in relation to putting a battery under the bonnet. There is room however some metal pipes would need to be relocated and I didn't want to go down that path. Given the battery is in the back its very easy to place a dual battery in roughly the same area.

These batteries run hot and may catch fire in the engine bay. Hence rear mount.
