No offence, but £325, is that cheap? Just asking, I wouldn't know.

It was me who said about £60!!!

Only problem is im in no great rush, my van isnt on the road yet and when it is i have a set of wellers to be going on with!! as soon as i find some alloys at the right price im gonna buy em then get my adapters made, and anyone else who wants a set can have some aswell, the more orders i get the cheaper they will be!!! :D

What type of alloys do you want? They must be 5 stud to fit my adapter design!!!
:D

I don't know what van you've got Steve but I went up to see Jono and tried those wheels on my '98 SWB, but they were a little wide, so wide infact I couldn't even open the side loading door.

Jono tells me that they were off of an E reg swb but apparently they have got a narrow axle, he says they are a J off set and are 7 inches wide, 4 inches of which stuck out past the wheel arch.

wow they must be wide - i got mine off a guy who had them in a mk5 with the wide axle and the side door did hit them but only just you could force it past - the way to get round that is to pack out the door runners!! :D

I would say no, unless you fancy sticking some wide arches on and stepping out the side loading door, I remember seeing a post that someone had already spoken to Wheller and they will be doing a batch of wheels for the Transit at the end of the year.
