Sound advice...I certainly will...

Alcoa manufacture alloy wheels for the Mk8. I have a set which I have bought for my Mk2, beautiful quality too!

Thanks Conrad, just what I am looking for, but I thought the rims are 16", looking at alcoa
site and UK distributors they all seem to start at 17.5" rims. Not sure if I can upsize to
17.5" rims, quite happy to if its acceptable.

The rims are 16x6

Thanks again for the response Conrad, but I am in the UK and the links you gave are
American for TruckWheels and Australian for Alcoa, when you go to the UK or Europe
Alcoa site and select 16x6 wheels it just comes up saying "No wheels found matching
the provided criteria". Not sure why it's such a problem in UK/Europe.

Having said that it looks like the TruckWheels site will sell to Europe so thanks I will
happily order from the states, not sure if I will get hit for tax though?

I can't answer the tax question, although I imagine VAT will probably get added?

I am in New Zealand, and imported mine through a company that ships car parts here by seafreight, to keep freight costs sensible.

I got a small telescope from the USA about 45$ and when it was delivered I had to pay £12 import tax / vat before they would let me have it I think it was the post office that I had to pay .

I'm now the proud owner of a 460 Trend dually minibus which I'm currently converting to a camper. The previous owner had fitted Stainless Steel Euroliner wheel trims which I think look great.

Yes looks good hides all the tatie wheels as Ford steel wheels soon go rusty if you could get black ones I may think about it as I’ve never being a fan of Chrome at some time I may have mine powder coated black .
