have you fitted these? any photos would be appreciated
Hello mate, yep. They look awesome! still don't see many bronze on blue too, don't like following the crowd. Hhave you fitted these? any photos would be appreciated
ere's some picsyeah oli at BM sorted the wheels and suspension for me. (Bilstein Komforts are are superb) spacers fitted but I couldn’t tell you width I’m afraid. What colour’s your van?
My van is pure grey with Claytons, wanted to use standard suspension. Oli has been great about all the options available... Just not sure i can fork out so much for suspension upgrades. Wonder what these bronze will look like on a pure grey standard height? are your rears wider?
If it's a toss up between wheels or suspension, I'd say do the suspension. The looks and ride will be massively improved, and they look great even on stock 17" Devonports. You can change the wheels later. Mine is on Koni Sport with H&R ARBs (T30) and is like driving a car. More smiles per mile!
Yes agree, but I didn’t buy a van to spend money to make it drive like a car (is my excuse anyway) I actually like the stock suspension drive so not really too keen on improving the drive any further. My only reason for suspension upgrade would be lowering the height for aesthetic reasons and getting into multi-storey car parks as they say ‘each man to his own’ did you do the suspension first ? And why didn’t you go for 20’s is the big question?
I sold the wife, kids, dog and a kidney and got the whole thing done in one hit rather than in stages. I went for 19s over 20s with a view to achieving a balance between looks and ride based on advice here, as I was concerned that 20s might be a little harsh over bumps. It's obviously very difficult at the moment due to Covid, but if you do know someone that's changed their suspension who will let you try it, give it a go. I drove a standard T6 before buying mine and the lack of roll in corners/bends is quite noticeable. I don't mean in a 'drive it like you stole it' sort of way, just regular entry into roundabouts etc. I'm pretty sure that Olli @BognorMotors has got a number of vans with different setups that you could test if it helps you. He also does good. deals on wheel. and tyre packages too - he got me my Judds.
Thanks, been to Olie’s and yes it drives lovely. Those wheels look so nice on that van I will go for 18’s as I am worried about strain on the drive shaft and the weight of the wheels but yours look amazing. I am not really fussed about the drive as I have conceded it’s a van
Whatever you do I'm sure it'll put a smile on your face - mine does. It doesn't look quite as good at the moment after a 350 mile round trip to Essex in the crap weather we've been having. One of the drawbacks of going wider with the wheels is the amount of crud that gets kicked up the sides of the van. I think I need mud flaps!
Are these the ones that are drilled into the bodywork?
They would all work. But I would personally favour bronze. Lovely wheels these.
Bronze!
