Default Any 2017 Discos with TuffAnt Version 2 Steelies out there?

So I'm looking to soon downgrade my rims from the factory 21's with All Season Tires currently at about 6/32 tread left to some smaller rims so I can fit proper AT tires and have a bit more sidewall. I've tried to source factory 20's but even on Ebay they are still $300/350 a rim and most of them are not in the best shape. I was thinking about doing the Comp Wheels but still at $400 each shipped from Lucky8 they are still a pretty penny and don't even work with TPMS. I'm super interested in the TuffAnt Satin black Steels and have been talking to Jake from US TuffAnt about the Gen 2s that will fit the 2017 Gas and Diesel cars. These are a fantastic deal and I've found some photos floating around but wanted to see if others have went this route. I live in Colorado Springs and he's mentioned there were a few orders in the past that he shipped to Denver. Would love to see some pictures and get some feedback. I don't have lift rods just yet but I can't imagine going another 1.5 or 2'' of lift in off road height. Also, if it makes "Normal" heights or "Access" height any taller then I might pass on the rods just for the fact that I can just barely fit the Disco in the garage with roof tent on so I like that factor. Thanks ya'll!

I haven't tried the TuffAnt.

However, I found 20in RR Sport wheels locally for @$400.

Saw this on ebay: 4 x 20" wheels

I am running the COMP wheels from Lucky8. I bought new TPMS sensors that work fine. I have 2017 TD6, has the smaller brakes. But I still have to grind 1/16" off the rear caliper to fit. Easy fix. I'm on 265/60R18 KM3,s Mine came with 1.5" rods. but not needed for 265/60R18....... I'm leaving the rods, because I like the look a little better.

Looks AWESOME! I really want the comps but for the price I'm ehhh a bit more hesitant. I can get a set of 5 steel wheels 18'' for pretty much $900 Shipped and $200 of that is shipping. I like the COMPS though because they would be lighter but for 5 of them is $2000 for just the wheels from Lucky8 shipped. I was going to plan on reusing the factory TPMS sensors since my current tires are almost shot anyways or will be by winter.

Did you purchase new Factory Sensors? or Aftermarket that work with LR? If so where did you get them?

Titan TPMS sensors I saw in another thread. Here is the link to what I purchased.

LR GX631A159AA 433 Mhz TPMS tire pressure sensors for Land Rover$112.00 US I ended up calling to get the correct part number.

Have your tire store, activate or wake them up. 5 minute down the road they registered and are working fine.
