Yes, lifted.40mm front 50mm rear. Standard size 235/60/18, but the standard HSE rims will need new tyres soon so I'll go bigger when the time comes.

Re black wheels on a black FL2.
Reckon to go down this route then your best going for the "stealth" look ...... that is have everything in black.
However if you wanted to retain the silver trim, then I'd keep the wheels silver.

But as a compromise (as someone previously mentioned) you could always go grey ..... even do the silver trim in grey?
When I had my black D3, I had silver painted trim (not chrome) on the bumper, mirrors & door handles - as well as the usual silver side vents & side tubes, so when I wanted a change of colour to the silver wheels I went "dark chrome".
That gives a nice shaded effects of silver through to dark grey and took away the blingness of the silver wheels without resorting to going black ....... I'd do the same again if I had a black Disco/FL2.

Just a thought when choosing a black e.g. do you go matt, satin or gloss?
On my dark grey FL2 I went for gloss, mainly as all the other 'black pack' items are in gloss.
I was also aware that the wheels do dull naturally with brake dust between washes.


The above are only my thoughts and experiences. Thumbs Up FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.
