very tempted Pauly...................what tyres would you recommend?

 

[Pauly]

VW recommended size is 255/45/18
It’s quite a common size so there’s plenty of options available

 

[PukkaT6]

Hmmm, tempted

 

[DaveyB]

These are the wheels I have on my van. In my opinion look much better than the newer versions, but then I would say that cos if I keep telling myself i’ll become convinced, and then I won’t yearn for some 20’s or 21’s!

 

[PukkaT6]

Im tempted as whilst I like mine the fact they have a silver rim around them highlights they are not 20 inch ha

 

[DaveBos]

Nice wheels and dead easy to keep clean.

I’m tempted so that I can move away from 20’s. I hear the ride is so much better on 17/18’s.

do they come with bolts or will the davenport bolts fit correctly?

I was thinking of these, for my bboo green T32 LWB, along with 30mm eibach T32 springs (warranty). What do people think of these wheels? The other thing I was thinking was some nice gunmetal (JUDD?) 19" Turbine-style with 40mm H&R springs and stuff the warranty. The thing about these gloss black is that they are cheaper and I know that they will not foul the T32 calipers. Any advice? Thx.

 

[superflyguy]

They are crap @clufus I think you should sell to me cheap
Seriously I think they are the best sportlines alloy design vw have done, and the 30mm drop is very subtle.

Thank you - looking for something that will suit the metallic green (with polished trapezoid side bars) - tricky. This option keeps me in warranty.

I think it will look spot on, I'm really happy with the 30mm drop on mine.

@Pauly. Aren't the 255/45/18s for the T32 though and VW also recommends 235/50/18s for other models.

 

[Pauly]

Yes that’s the vehicle recommendation but the wheel info only recommends the 255 size.
If it’s not a T32 then potentially you could go either way

They do look so much better though, I think. I read a lot that the newer diamond cut design just looks tatty after even a short period of time. All black wheels appear to weather better. I'm looking at either these wheels or the earlier gloss black Sportlines above. I sway between the 2 which usually means I do nothing and will continue on the steels.

Agree @Twenty Four, there have been several reports of the diamond cut polished parts of the newer sportline wheels fading, changing colour, deteriorating. I believe that Pauly may even have removed such rims for sale from the Forum shop for this reason.

Thanks @Pauly, do you still have them for sale?

 

[Pauly]

Yes still available
