Makes sense about the sharpness of the edge; thanks for boosting my knowledge!

It's just how it is with cheap, aftermarket wheels. I had one of the first sets of so called RS8s on my Leon Cupra back in 2002. They were like that after a few months. I'm had OEM diamond cuts on various other cars since. They have fared much better, but still succumb to the worm in places...

Hi All. Having just spent a couple of hours cleaning the wheels I have decided to remove them from sale. The reason is that the insides of the rim have quite a lot of salt worm that I hadn't noticed with them being dirty. The paint/ powder has obviously let the winter road conditions in. I would...

Worming is normally down to the lack of lacquer on the edges of the polished face. The polishing process would normally remove the face of the wheel, then this is all lacquered, but because the edges tend to be so sharp, the build up of top lacquer on the corners is very difficult, leading to...

I agree with @Lukavell.... I’m sure if they were all black you’d lose the definition and they’d just look flat! Like he says, what about a different colour.... I’ve thought if I get mine repainted in the future I’d go for anthracite!? :thumbsup:

What thickness Silentcoat did you use? I’m thinking about fitting 4mm.

hey guys lets talk alloys, whats your favourite alloys ? what alloys have you got ? sizes and fitment ? lets get some pictures of them on here, give people ideas or inspiration. Get Posting :tongue bounce:

Hi, I would have searched for these on here but I don’t know what they’re called? Can anyone identify these and if their load rating would be T32 suitable?

I had a set of Wolfrace Entourage on a previous van, and they did exactly the same, so I just ditched the diamond cut and powder coated the whole wheel, no more problems. I've said many times, diamond cut rarely lasts in this country. I love the look of this style of finish, and had several...

I'm enjoying this thread but I remain none the wiser as to the correct tyre size to go for. I'm looking at some 20" ET40 9J wheels... 255/35/20 are perfect in terms of circumference vs. speedo etc but impossible to get correct load rated tyres unless you go with some total rotters 265/35/20 is...

Unfortunately, this also happened on my factory option Range Rover wheels (the 22 Turbines) after about the first 1.200 miles !! .... along with some brake dust pitting !!! You buy a Range Rover as you think it will be bomb proof. Land Rover told me to stick it when I complained !!! :eek: They...

Much chat on tyre size but I remain none the wiser as to the best tyre size to go for. I'm looking at some 20" ET40 9J wheels... 255/35/20 are perfect in terms of circumference vs. speedo etc but impossible to get correct load rated tyres unless you go with some total rotters 265/35/20 is only...

I'm afraid i'd agree. Diamond cut/polished wheels look great when new, but they don't last long. I've had several sets, and the design of these will chip very quickly, letting the water underneath, causing 'worming' I went from budget polished wheels, to very expensive wheels and they all...

Well my wheels like every on else have sucumb to the dreaded wheel worm so I phoned Listers Droitwitch up to ask about getting them changed. Afer a couple of weeks I was told that VW did not exchange them any more and have tol dthe dealers to get them referbished. So lookes like that is what is...

Diamond cut wheels don't last because the basically etch lacquered bare cut aluminium. Not much sticks to bare aluminium especially a mirror diamond cut face. Etch lacquer will adhere but as soon as its chipped even micro millimeter chipped, water gets under it and it starts to white worm and...

I bought my swamper wheels with BFG tyres from Rogue. All good at the time. Have since tried to contact them and have not had a response. So maybe good at the initial sale, not after sales? Strange as it was an enquiry about more wheels‍♂️

Yup bi colour Dreaded white worms under the lacquer there is a thread on here about . Vw cvs canterbury are awesome they agreed they needed changing first time round , I’ve been super careful cleaning (mild cleaner)and sealing them up (wheel sealant ) but I think the lacquer is too thin

Infinity Ecomax 255/35 R20 97Y XL (Extra Load) I have these Infinity Tyres on my Van. These are pretty hard wearing, easy to source and look good. Some good reviews as well. As you will find out, T6's are notorious for wearing out tyres. These tyres are available, and the price is affordable...

I have 275/35 20s. Using the Waze speedo v’s the speedo reading, mine is smack on. I carry some weight, and am currently at 38psi. Today I’ve had adjustable springs fitted, so I’m sitting nice and level. I got cheapo tyres, so am going to experiment with some pressure changes, and check the...

Hi all, I'm looking for some tyre recommendations for my T6 T32 on 20" rims. I currently have some Powetrac Cityracing 275/40R20 106V XL tyres, which came with the van when I bought it second hand a few months ago, and I'm looking for some good all-round tyres for fuel economy and grip in the...
