Bought a set of those wheels in silver off Craigslist for $300 and put Hakka winter tires on them. Great wheel combo. Will be painting black for next winter.
Quick update. Got some 20" Range Rover wheels from a GREAT vendor on eBay. They are called Nitrous Garage in SoCal. Super helpful and I would highly recommend them. They did the powder coating and mounted the KO2 TA's. Dealer installed the new wheels/tires and were impressed and surprised that they fit. Thank you for the help.
Only issue has been that the TPMS is not registering (or is cutting in and out). Any tips on this? They are sending me 4 new TPMS but that means i need to have the tires taken off and reinstalled.
I also am going to sell the original tires and wheels. Let me know if anyone is interested.
Not to thread drift but how does it ride/handle with the ATs? I’m currently on the stock rubber which rides very well

Rides great I have about 13K on mine now so about 12.5K on KO2s and about 700-800 on original wheels. It was definitely smoother on original tires but it still handles and feels great on A/Ts, air suspension is awesome on these.
Interested in how the KO2s hold up. I've had two sets on another vehicle. 1st set 45K miles - great!, 2nd set 25K miles and didn't go back. No warranty. I'm curious if they have turned around the quality and durability of the tire (it has been a few years) as well as how much road noise they generate. Also - check Ebay for black lugs (I like the all black look too). I bought a complete set for $70ish and they were every bit as good as the LR version at a fraction of the price - save the silver LR lugs. I also bought aftermarket TPMS sensors and they worked immediately and are still going strong at a fraction of the LR price. Shop around. The air suspension is awesome and I'm running 275/55-20 Cooper ATs on 10 inch rims - no rub, no lift. I consider this one of the best performance and appearance mods you can make to the vehicle.
Likewise, more important to have new TMPS sensors than used LR factory sensors. I purchased four new sensors from a European supplier for the price of a single new sensor from LR. After some research I learned that the batteries on TPMS sensors go bad and as a result the sensors have a limited lifespan - regardless of manufacturer. If purchasing used LR rims with sensors, the TPMS sensors may already be bad or have a limited lifespan. On used rims, don't trust the sensors, unless the rims are fairly new take-offs. Your choice on the TPMS sensor provider, but new beats used every day. My non LR TPMS sensors have been working flawlessly since installation, If they were not working, I'd report that also, but my experience has been very positive and I have an additional $400 in my pocket.
I was talking to the Big O guy and he said since BFG KO2s are 10 ply and a very stiff ride, they will eat up the air suspension on a Discovery. They are considered the pinnacle of A/T, but he doesn't recommend putting them on an air ride suspension. Any feedback from those that have the 275/55r20s? Thanks.
