Which wheels would be best for my new Range Rover Evoque?
I would like to place an order for a new Range Rover Évoque Prestige model but, before I do so, I need to make a decision on the wheel/rim size and tyres for maximum ride comfort. The standard alloy on the Prestige model has a 19-inch rim with a choice of three 20-inch wheel options. It is interesting to note, however, that the basic Evoque model, the Pure, comes on 18-inch 7-spoke wheels as standard with a choice of four 19-inch options. Which would you recommend?

You will get the most comfortable ride on 18-inch wheels with 235/60 R18 tyres. 20-inch wheels with lower profile tyres are for bling. But if you go for the 2.0-litre Ecoboost petrol engine and the coupe body, you want to treat the Evoque like a sports car and don't ever want to go off road in it, then it might be worth sacrificing ride comfort for the better high speed cornering grip of the 20-inch wheels and lower profile tyres.
