Are you having anything else done to them or just the powder coat? I Would love to have the rears made 11” wide but not sure if it’s going to cause me problems.

Remember your sliding door…. I have 9.5” banded Amaroks on the rear and my carpeted sliding door rubs just a little bit.
The good thing is it’s a work van so sliding door is standard. I have about 20mm gap from door panel to the arch. Think I’m going to leave them as they are. Done enough messing about with arches on mk1 and mk3 golfs over the years (with arch rolling kit) Don’t think I want to messing about on the van.
No way. We measured to see if we could get a band on either the front or rear, but no way.

I share the disappointment over how the production Navis Holeys look. I get the comment about copyright, but this never stops the loads of OEM “replica” alloys which are direct copies of the originals.
Yes I commented about the number of holes. Surely they aren't showing the prototype wheel on the website where you purchase are they???
It may seem trivial to some I guess but it has a big effect on the overall look of the wheel and would prevent me buying.
False advertising then surely?
Did you order holey or dome? Dome appear to have 16 holes, holey 18
19” holey
Copyright on a steel wheel design??? Surely the width/dish and size makes any copyright issues null and void.
I'm guessing it's less about copyright and more about costs, or cost to meet a certain standard to be legal and their profit margins.
I've just collected my 20inch Smoovies, from THQ which will be up for sale as I've now sold my van. So if anyone is interested let me know I'll be posting a listing later on this evening

Long story mate but it was part of deal when trading in my old T6 for the T6.1 which I've now sold

I see the Alpine demo van being used to promote the Domed Navis steels have 18 holes not 16. Wonder if these are production spec? The production spec. Holeys have 16 holes instead of the 18 on the prototype. I’m not really understanding the existence of the Domed wheel, surely it’s just a different centre cap?
They will be production wheels which have had a couple of tweaks since the prototype, which isn't unusual. The Domed wheels are slightly different to the none-domed because they are designed to hold the domed cap, where as the standard Holey won't.
Any pictures of the alpine van? I can’t seem to find it , well not with steels .
Check out either THQ or Alpine on Instagram
@Tourershine have you got yours back yet? Looking forward to seeing them.
