Lol. Oh dear. I may have opened up a can of worms. I got black wheels on my white t6 at moment but there's just too much black for me but the bronze takes away all that. Its all down to personal taste but at mo, bronze is definitely the best looking in my eyes.

But they do corrode!! Avoid any of the diamond cut wheels as they get 'white worm' after a couple of years. Most people get alloys so they can have larger diameters and widths. It's almost always for aesthetics as they usually end up far more heavy than the stock wheels.

Up for sale these are original sportlines had them powder coated when the white worm appeared on the diamond cut. All 4 wheels have Goodyear eagle F1’s on 2 are about 2mm and the others are 3/4mm all absolutely mint the center caps are shot the orange is just vinyl 255/45/18 so T32 compatible...

Hi guys, Contemplating some new 20" wheels for my T6 4Motion. Really like the looks of these ... ( I'm guessing going staggered is a bad idea on a 4motion though ?) Leighton Video Can anyone comment on the durability of the finish over the course of say 9-12 months ? I have a sneaking...

With the current trend to diamond cut spokes but the problems with the lacquer chipping on diamond cut surfaces, has anyone mimicked it by painting the diamond cut surface silver and the rest of the wheel black? Thinking that a £500+ refurb could bring some older alloy styles bang up to date.

I ran these assassin GT's for 13 months then they just self destructed with wheel worm. I got them powder coated and sold them on to a mate whose still running them 2 years on with no problems

Yea did that, he wasn't sure about the ratings but since confirmed 900kg after looking on the inside of the casting Gonna get them refurbed to start with and thinking of just running them during the summer and reverting to the Devonports in Winter Look top drawer they do smart looking van too...

100% agreed to the point I am now going for 17"x8" OZ rally raids in Bronze with Scorpian AT+ 235/65 R17 108H. Decision made so I don;t have to worry now :). Can always paint them black ha ha. Edit: Also have the wife's approval.

I parked the camper up in my garage 10 months ago and only just took it back out today. Whilst parked up there has been some sort of reaction on my alloys. The weird thing is it seems to be below the clear coat as it still feels smooth and doesn’t wash off. Any idea how this could have...

Aka - what they don’t tell you at the start! Great advice @ChrisR

Yes, metal and plastic sheds do a really good job of supporting condensation, meaning the forks on your mountain bikes and that stack of alloy wheels you were keeping safe over winter will emerge covered in rust and white worm damage next spring... :mad:

@Jwardy23 If @Trouts decides to pull out, may I have 2nd dibs at the wheels please? Ideal to fit, whilst mine go to be powder coated.

Hi, has anyone had any problems with their Wolfrace wheels. Mine were changed under warranty 18m ago and the replacements are now going. The black finish showing white marks. I have deliberately avoided using products but this has not made any difference. Wolfrace have offered replacements at...

Finally I’ve got some better pictures of the wheels. All tyres are 6mm+ on the tyres. The tyre size is 275/35/20 102w The wheels are in very good condition with just a bit of white worm on two of the wheels which can be seen in the photos. Any questions please ask. £600

Diamond cut face wheels here as I like the look, regarding white worm and kerbing these are both going to happen but then so will coastal erosion, house price rises and the threat of unemployment... I have a fairly comprehensive list of world problems that we're powerless to solve as a PDF...

Hey @RustyMac i am looking at what you have mentioned for my 20” wheels. Diamond cut Wolfrace, in need a TLC due to the dreaded lacquer worm and kerbs. Mine are going to be stripped, cleaned up, sprayed silver, baked then two coats of lacquer, baked again. £408 all in, takes my guy two days.

As Deaky says. The diamond cut wheels have a clear coat on the face that chips really easy. Water gets in and makes its way like a little worm burrowing. I've had three sets of diamond cut wheels on various cars and all suffered within a year. Powder coating is the way forward.

...like those wheels needs to be well looked after and regularly cleaned with non acidic products to avoid problems with what’s known as wheel worm. Any stone chips or scuffs that might appear need to be repaired as soon as possible. If you do go for those wheels I’m an Autec dealer and would...

Selling my 18” Sportlines as they are just sat in the garage gathering dust. All four need a refurb as the good old salt worm has got into them. I had planned on refurbing and then selling on; but by selling them in need of refurb gives someone the ability to change the colour if they want a...
