Cheers chaps and duly noted, I'm not sure if they're made from Corten steel and stay at that level of crustiness but then there's another issue with red calipers being so "last season"?Why? looks like they are already chestnut brown

I'm 66, the last time I was in fashion was 1981Red would tie in with the pin stripe though
red, gold or silver then.
Whatās the ride like then ?Yes I'm a hypocrite, well sort of as I've posted more than once that I don't like black wheels but thanks to forum member @willythepooh I've now got these bad boys lurking in the wheel arches.
I know I'll regret not painting them before the tyres went on but the van is Chestnut brown and colours spinning through my head included Mojave Beige, Turmeric, dark chrome so on the tyres went and by the time Winter is over we may have a decision.

19's, 8.5" and 9.5" rears, 255 45 105y on the front and 275 40 104y on the rear.
Running Bridgestone Turanza so in theory it should be like when you had them Will but compared to the Dunlop Sportmaxx 255 45 18s on the Momos they're a bit quieter and feel like the Goodyear Eagles on our Astra so nimble and predictable through corners.
I'll be honest I was quietly crapping myself that the rears would look a bit "Carlos Fandango" sticking out as the stickers on the inside of the wheel drums indicated an et25 but all good and only bit of further fiddling I might do is wind the front down slightly on the coil overs as the 45 aspect ratio makes the front wheels look a bit taller than the 275 40s on the back which look schweet!
You can't have them back Will as my oldest lad has got first dibs for his 328 E36.
Glad you are pleased with them. I deliberated for weeks/months what size tyres and make to put on them.
What size tyres are you running on what width pal
Not mine but a real beauty we spotted walking round Sixfields stadium one Sunday...
Looked a bit closer and they're Innovit Speed 20s running what looking like stretched scooter tyres...

The alloys are 8ā wide in f I remember correctly and the tyres are 255/45What size tyres are you running on what width pal
Donāt expect any of these tyres you see on this van to be load rated for a T32.. these were 245/45/19 102 rated im pretty sureDoes look like youāre cheating though

Also ran Range Rover steels on 19s again not load rated 245/40/19 98y Added a photo not aired out so you can see. I found 19s a bit of an awkward size if Iām honest 18s or 20s were better. I have loads of photos of all size wheels on this van.Does look like youāre cheating though
