Looks good. Was hoping they didn’t need spacers but i think they do.
New VW 18 inch wheel options

Yep, sadly as they're still 8J and ET50 they're always gonna be tuck city!
The 16mm hubcentric spacers take them to roughly where my previous 8.5J ET40s were.

Bit worried as recommended tyre rating is for a
235/50 R18. This is the size recommended by VW for these wheels. Which is 101 rating recommended for my van is 103 255/45/18 I dont want to come unstuck
Any advice as I do like the 10 spoke
What tyres are they

Tyre is van specific not wheel, T30 and down Vw recommend that size, t32 is the 103 255/45 you are running.
No problem with having the wider size tyres on any van just Vw won’t put them on for you.
Had mine on with 255/45 since pretty much the start of this thread, no bad thing Vw wouldn’t fit the tyres as they were £100 per tyre dearer than my usual tyre place!

Looks like your at poole breeze in photos which is my local dealer, i can just see you had falken all season tyres, what size did you go for and were these fitted by breeze?
I’ve got 255/45 R18 XL 103 tyres on the 10 spokes
+1 for that, they would look seriously good
Hello All, first time poster here, and new to the T6 community. 
Recently bought a 2016 T6 (T32), in chestnut brown, but it has new swamper wheels and tyres (Navis), that I'm not so in love with, and looking to swap to something like the dark bronze 5-spokes picture in this chat. Will these fit a T6, as opposed to T6.1, does anybody know please?
Also, I'd be looking to sell the current wheels and tyres. They have only 500miles useage on them. Any ideas on realistic asking price for such things please?

All wheels that fit T6.1 will fit a T6 as the fitment is the same. The most important aspect is the weight rating, you will need to check the wheels are load rated for T32.
VIP membership on here (£12.99 PA) and you will be able to list them on the for sale section check out other listings for an idea on price.
@david173 Thank you! That's useful to know, so I'll look in to doing that.
Do you happen to know, what is the load rating requirement for T32 wheels? Thank you.
There is a black plate with white writing on it on the front inner wing (under the bonnet) This gives you the maximum front and rear axle weights for your vehicle. Take the highest and divide it by two to get the required individual wheel rating.
Thanks @dubber36!
I'm learning already, but from my roookie starting point, that's only to be expected.
Thank you.Have any of the other early adopters had any problems with the diamond cut finish?
Just cleaned mine today and nsf is showing some small patches of the dreaded wire worm.
Just under a year old, so wondering if anybody has had similar and tried warranty? Only on one wheel so far.

One of my 18” diamond cut sportline alloys has this problem. Annoying but not visible from any kind of distance.
Mine are fine as stored in the garage. I took them off b4 any sign of salt appearing on the roads.
They were also Gtechniq C5 wheel armour coated b4 ever being fitted as well.
I currently have std Devonports with ATs on until the weather improves.
Jeeez, just been looking through this thread price gone up from £202.36 inc VAT to £345.63 (in a sale)
Its put me off buying a set!
Devonports are looking appealing!

Me too. Im thinking of a set of Amarok alloys, either the 18s or the 17s. Or possibly the OZ Racing Rally Raids in 17 or 18.
