Is it sad that I'm excited about refitting my summer Amarok 18" steel wheels and summer tyres tomorrow. The 17" T32 steels with winters have been stylish and functional Hopefully no more snow forecast!

If you seriously want a set of banded RRs, take my advice and just buy new from someone like Duchy, unless you know someone selling a nearly new set of Duchy's.
Reason being is banded steel quality can vary and myself and a few others have been stung buying used Banded steels that are buckled or not built very well, or just rusted out to a point where you cannot really have them refurbished because they are so pitted.

RR's are expensive, but they do tend to hold their value better than buying new alloys. My recent pothole tyre damage on my RRs made me wonder if I should get rid and move back to Banded Amaroks, but every time I sell a set of RRs, I regret it, so they are staying this time.

I’ve actually been considering swapping out my RRs for amaroks! Must be mad.

Spare sets of blanks caps so sprayed them silver. Not sure, black definitely looks better but good to have just for a change. TBH I'm getting itchy feet again. Quite fancy some 19in alloys.

@Butcher8109 there you go...

@S700 in my opinion I prefer the amaroks. cheaper tyres also. Wouldn’t say your mad.. just a different look
