SwamperLow wheels

[Mike Dean]

Contemplating swapping out my 20” Supermetal Cells for a swamp wheel and chunky road tyre.
What have people done?
I’m guessing 17/18” with a nice but of rubber?
Weller do a 17 10J 28, how will that sit in a T6?
I’m running STX coils.
Await the wheel gods

I've owned a set of the Weller deeps and they didn't stay on my van for long. The standard Weller finish is pretty poor and the powder was flaking off in sheets. Yes, you could buy a set and have them re-powdered properly, but the rear 10" are a little too far outwards for my lows and they'd rub the arches unless you had a stretched tyre.

A much better option if the Weller's are a firm favourite is a banded 17 like mine below. These are actually the most versatile set of wheels I own, and they look much nicer than the Weller deeps in my opinion, and the 235/50/17 Goodyear Vectors are very comfortable, plus a fantastic all season tyre that work really well in the snow, and wet fields, as well as the summer.

If I ever do change from my 18” banded Amaroks, this is the way I’d go…. love ‘em!

They are just a great wheel to own. Not daft money and if you trash one, it's not the end of the world, although you'd obviously prefer not to.

Hmmm, I've got 2 of these 17" wheels sat in my garage. Wondering if I should get on eBay for another 2 and get them banded?

You can imagine the panic in my head when I purchased these wheels and sized them up against my the van (lowered on coilovers - a lot! with 20" alloys and low tyres) but it worked in the end and its great!

Much nicer drive IMO!
