Wheel decision help please [Sorted]

[VW Smith]

I want to upgrade my 17” VW cascaval to a 19” bit can’t decide on either satin black zitos / satin black Dortmund’s or any of these pics attached. Will someone please decide for me (white T6 Edition Khombi)

 

[j4ckal]

I'd avoid any with the polished/diamond cut face, just asking for issues.
A white van, especially an edition, will look good on black rims, satin ideally.
Which Zito's you thinking? Staggered?

 

[j4ckal]

Some good deals on the veeman wheels at minute, see the heads up on here. Not sure if any are black though.

 

[VW Smith]

Just missed out on a set of zito zfx I was too slow, I just think blacks get a bit lost on a white van?

Sorry... Deleted my reply as they were 20s

 

[VW Smith]

I guess if I crack one on a pothole or kerb it I would be better going for a well known make so I can get a spare. BUT are any a well known make as I know absolutely nothing about wheels or vehicles still learning and spending!!!????

Welcome to the world of wheels and tyres..

many of us have been down this looooong road. As @j4ckal said stay well away from diamond cut face! It lifts and is a pain to get re done.

I’ll tag @BognorMotors and @ChrisR both these guys will be able to help you decide what is best for your van keeping the load ratings on alloys and tyres safe.

have you got any other information?? I.e t30 t32? Standard suspension? Lowered? This will all effect your wheel choice.

Thanks @Jayjmac

We deal in most available wheels on the market, so happy to quote for any package you like.

We only sell fully weight rated wheel/tyre packages.

Happy to talk through any options

Would prefer: 19” with 255/45 budgets think tourshine mentioned nexen were good. Would like to bring them out more, so what I’ve read on the web is ET35 all the way round and maybe matt black as everyone seems to say polished are a headache. And on the drop issue think I would like to drop 30/40mm but after Christmas and try the wheels for now. And a massive thanks to all for help

 

[VW Smith]

Sorry it’s a T30

 

[Jayjmac]

Ooooh lovely, T30 plenty of choices!! 30/40mm drop you will be fine.

definitely spend a bit of time going through what it is you want with whoever. It can be a expensive mistake.

Thanks @Jayjmac for the refferal!

@VW Smith I can help with wheels and tyres, lots of options out there for the T30, also lots of options on suspension for the T30 that would give you the drop you're after and maximise comfort at the same time. I can supply and fit or just supply, all at the usual excellent Van Cave pricing. I know you're not looking for suspension straight away, but I'll take the liberty of sending you a PM with a couple of options for wheels and suspension and we can discuss it further there should you want to. At least you'll have some numbers to work with that way.

Cheers.

Chris.

Managed to get some Judd 311r from Bognor and very happy with them, selling the standard 17” cascaval with tyres if anyone wants them

What size did you go for??

 

[VW Smith]

Went with 19” I can’t tell any difference in ride quality, seems slightly more planted going round corners

 

[Jayjmac]

Widths and offset?? Ooh and what colour!
