Do you use/recommend the repair kit with mushroom-style plugs or string-style plugs? Mushroom type: String (worm) type:

That looks like the lacquer is scratched and if it is, then as soon as winter salty water hits it, it will lead to worming very quickly. As a "get out of jail card" Leighton may suggest the wheel face was caught with a socket when fitting on to the hub. :cry: Certainly worth an email to them...

I paid £105 to get a slight kerbing repaired and the wheel powder coated (it wasn’t diamond cut, but I think the price would be the same if you went for an all-over coating). That would be quite a bill for all 4 wheels, so you might want to get it refurbed with the same finish. Using different...

You might be opening a can of worms with that question. Wheels and tyre's are only part of the equation. I had 20" wheels on my T6.1 from new as I prefer the look, but that's a personal thing. Mine is a campervan conversion too and although I never had any issues comfort wise on the standard...

Decided to sell my near immaculate set of silver and black Cascaval 17 inch alloys. Excellent condition with good tyres Looking for £550 collected from North Yorkshire. 2 tyres are Bridgestone Turanza with 4-4.5mm tread, 2 tyres are Michelin Crossclimate with 4-4.5mm tread also. All tyres are...

Afternoon all, I haven't emailed Leightons yet as I was after a little bit of advice from people that will know more about this subject than myself. I have purchased a brand new set of Leighton LV-2 alloy wheels in gunmetal grey with polished faces which I am over the moon with. When...

I had a set on my Nissan NV200 and after a year the dreaded white worm was visible on most of the polished sections.

Hi everyone, Well my first 2 months of ownership of a 2016 T6 Highline panel van is sadly not proving to be a happy experience. Having owned a T4 for the last 23 years with that wonderful 2.5 TDI AJT series engine, I have been reluctant to move on to a newer model, having heard numerous tales...

Another option would be to get the wheels sprayed silver where the diamond cut accents are and then black/anthracite. This could give the diamond cut appearance without the wheel worm issue.

Hi all, Wanting ideas for nice 20s that actually look good for more than a year. So I’m staying away of anything diamond cut as the lacquer slowly fails and the worms come to bite. However, Navis or Super-metal wheels seem to kerb easily. So looking for suggestions that are less vulnerable and...

Mine isn't lowered and I often use it off road (to a far lesser extent than you!) but it is probably fair to say that your circumstances are fairly unusual, few people need the ability to negotiate the type of terrain that you do. So while I'm not into the lowered scene I do enjoy reading about...

There we have it ladies and gents, after 8 months my wheels look complete sh1t! What’s the best thing to do in this situation? I knew I’d be the victim of the dreaded worm but I thought it would be a few years and not 8 months! To say I’m annoyed is an understatement! All four wheels have...

Probably the last SOS with these wheels on. Anyone any idea of a resale value? Wheel worm present on all four unfortunately, with kerbing to one. The Pirelli P-Zero’s on the rear will want replacing soon, the fronts having a bit more life left (haven’t measured yet).

Hi @mbee123 . I feel your pain, know I’m probably opening a can of worms here, and I don’t pretend to understand the science. I checked out this website, amongst others, and found this page useful, but a little confusing, when comparing to other parts of their site; Wheel/Rim Size Calculator...

I find it unbelievable that it’s even legal to weld on alloy wheels, a visible crack isn’t the full extent of a crack, if there is a crack it will cause yielding of the remaining structure. Just a can of worms! From a welders point of view there’s no way I would give a detailed invoice / receipt.

Next Sunday for the grand reveal ? !! What are you replacing them with ?

I sold a set the same as yours - wheel worm on all wheels and with tyres lower on two of them - for £265, if that helps. Good sets seem to sell for £650 up, and excellent / as new nearer £1000

I’ve just bought a brand new set of silver sportlines but have decided to get a set of Judd wheels would be happy to sell for 650 posted if they are any good to you?

Like any other machined or polished finish, yes, the risks of wheel worm are always there. Anyone looking at any wheels with such a finish needs to be aware of that. Ceramic coatings, regular cleaning with gentle, non-acidic cleaners, timely repair of even minor stone chips or scuffs will help...

I've got a full set of 5 VW OEM Cascavel 17" alloy wheels available. 1 still being used as a spare, hence no photos but don't worry, it will be removed & cleaned up before sale. The tyres are Bridgestone Turanza ER300 235/55/R17, max load 875kg. They have 3mm, 4mm, 6mm and 4mm tread left so ok...
