Stitches & Steel ‘The Steel’ wheels

[Wheresg]

Hi, thinking of changing my new T6.1 wheels to these. Would love to hear anyone’s experience with these. Thanks

Nice looking wheels. I went for 18" JBW Roks, similar and very pleased. Needed a lot of balancing weights.

I’m going through the same decision at the moment. Was planning on S&S steels which can come with Wildpeak AT3 255/55x18… but now having seen the JBW Roks with the same tyres coming in £300 cheaper, I’m torn. Anyone got a view?

I can attest to the durability of JBW steelies. I put a set of flat boys on mine for winter after thinking about spending 2k on the THQ schmooves (exactly the same but the jbws fit a Vw standard centre cap) Paid half that and I kept them on thru summer because everyone says how cool they look, that was 2 winters ago, and they still look new.

Thanks @bobnudd
I’ve actually ended up ordering some Rogue Ravages, which are 17” rather than 18”. Pretty sure I won’t miss the inch, but here’s hoping the quality is decent. In fairness, as long as they don’t fall apart I’ll be happy!

That’s it. What can go wrong with steelies? I quite like the some of the rogues. I had some for my defender a few years back.

Not a view on appearances steel wheels can be a lot cheaper, I use 255/55R18 on a Caravelle Exec 4Motion so should fit unless been dropped more than they are ,though the wheel arch liners do not touch on mine they may on another similar vehicle because they are not a machined fit and may bulge more on some vehicles more than others but on full articulation do not touch on mine.

Hi, I really like these, do you have any more pics? Is this on standard suspension?

 

[Plumberman]

Since this photo I've added spacers to the rear springs to level things up. The other van is my brothers with black JBW Roks.

Thanks, I have a Cali on 17s, quite keen to go up to 18s and love the steel look, defo in silver for me

 

[Plumberman]

Meant to say, standard suspension. Good luck
