Show me a set of better looking 18" alloys... the range is so limited at the moment because there are only a small number of wheels which have been load rated...

I didn't say there was better...just that I didn't like the ones on show...
As you say,there are not many Sets around yet that will fit the Custom but I wouldn't fit any old set just for the sake of it...
I personally think Spacers will make the Vans look a lot better by bringing the Wheel out further and maybe disguise the Arches a little bit...

At this stage i have narrowed down 3 wheels...

The Fox Racing Viper 18x7.5 priced at around £1200 with a decent set of tyres
Projex Storm 18x7.5 priced at around £1200 including tyres (in a variety of finishes)
Projex ST36 20x8 priced at around £1600 including tyres (in a variety of finishes)

The 20" ST36 wheels look great, they really fill the arch out in terms of width so spaces simply would not be required, however its a bit of a leap in price plus im not sure about the durability of the 20" tyres.
The 18" Storms look nice and being 18" give you a lot of choice regarding tyres, lots of guys have recommended tyre models for their existing wheels.

I have been told by Projex that there is another wheel which will be put into production in a month or so... its an 18" x 8 and comes in a variety of finishes.
