Cash has been granted by the Bank of Wifie so I’m now in the market for a set of wheels which will enhance the aesthetics of my van.
I’m going to get the wheels first then decide how much I’ll want to drop the van by.
On the advice of my financier (wife), I (we) are looking for polished or silver multi spoke wheels, probs about 18/19”.... does anyone have any links that they might suggest are good deals?
I’ve been trawling the web, but am beginning to get cranial overload with the choices....so am looking for some personal recommendations...
These will be to suit the above van...
 
Although this subject is covered quite a bit in the search box, I can give you a great tip. Stay away from 19" wheels, because unless you go for 45 profile or bigger, you won't get load rated tyres.
I always use Alloy Wheels, Tyres and Performance Parts from LK Performance - LK Performance for my wheels, and they are about the best for price and certainly the best for service.
As for styles, good luck and I hope you have a lot of spare time on your hands, plus plenty of hair..... Maybe have a look through the member pics in 'Team Brown' for some inspiration.
I just had a quick look and theres a set of Bronze coloured wheels on @MrParsnips van that look awesome and really suit the colour, on the other hand there's also some the don't suit the Brown, but again it's a personal choice, but take note of how low they have gone to achieve the same look you like.
Me personally, it has to be a nice concave, and a multi-spoke design that suits the T6 the best, but that's just me.

If you don't have a T32 then 245/45/19 are 102 loadrated and are ok for T30 or below .
 
I will say that if you go 19"x9" then 275/40r19 come in a huge choice of load rated tyres and are very close to original rolling radius.
In my opinion, stay away from polished/diamond cut wheels as the laquer always goes.
