Hi all.
I get my new t6 in 2days it’s a reflex Silver Kombi. I’ve been looking around at wheels and cannot decide which colour to go for. I really like the look of the INOVIT Turbine in gunmetal. But not sure if they’ll suit the van with it being silver. Has any got these on a silver van or could post a pic of gunmetal wheels on a silver van.
Thanks in advance.
Mark.
Here’s the wheels I was thinking of. INOVIT TURBINE ALLOY WHEELS 20″ Gunmetal Polished 5X120, VW TRANSPORTER T5, T6 – Tamar Wheels

Hi @Ando, before you do too much hunting for wheels, I suggest you check what load rating you need.
The wheels above show a load rating of 765KG - which is not sufficient for a T30 or a T32, and probably not sufficient for a T28.
To be sure, open your bonnet (when you get it), find the chassis weight plate which has 4 numbers.
The bottom 2 numbers are your axle weights - find the larger of these and halve it.
So for my T30 these numbers are 1600/1610 so I need wheels rated to 805Kg or above.

They look very nice!!!
Hi Ando. I really like these wheels also. However I’ve just received an email direct off Inovitstating that these wheels are only loaded upto 735kg. See below that I’ve copied and pasted
The Inovit Turbine wheel is rated to 735KG and is cast into the back of each wheel as well as JIL & VIA certifications. Please let me know if I can be of help with anything else.

Wow, ok. I think they may need to get their story straight then. For comparison, I have cut & paste the entire email trail, below:

Sir,
Yes all of the wheels are JIL and VIA certified (which is cast into each wheel). Also the weight load rating of 800 KG is cast into the back of the wheel as well.

Hi Mike,
Many thanks for your response. To clarify, do the 20” have the 800kg load rating stamped on the inside of them, as is required by our licensing regulations here in the UK?

I am very keen on fitting a set of staggered 20” Turbines to my VW T6 T28 van. However it looks like they do not come with a high enough load rating (800kg). Can you tell me if have understood correctly?
Regards,

Perhaps it’s a size discrepancy or they meant that 735 is covered by the 800 rating?
The rating can vary by wheel diameter, did you make it clear you were talking about 20s ?
Isn't there a poster here who works for Inovit? I'd really like to get this cleared up. Tamar wheels lists Turbines as suitable for T6, Wheelbase says they are unsuitable. Inovit say two different things about the same wheels. Its enough to make me want to open a wheel shop - it really cant be that hard?
Oh dear. The Inovit website lists a 2 year guarantee. Is it Tamar that is refusing to warrant them, or Inovit? I’ll wait to hear from Inovit before I decide but it doesnt sound good. As if choosing wheels isn’t hard enough!
