Are you anywhere near Sussex and want to swap?
My van was delivered with the old style and I removed them immediately to fit steels with winter tyres.

So yea you definitely got old ones.Does anybody have custom with new alloys and did they correct all problems with doors and water ingress or they did not bother at all except changing alloys.

Shame they hammered the wheel weight on the rim.......nob heads, why oh why they dont use the sticky ones that go on the inside i will never know.
Thick heads..

Nice colour! I also think the new 16" alloys look nicer than the old ones, though that's not difficult. They appear to protrude a bit, so I'd be worried about kerbing them.

They are virtually the same as the older wheel, just with the small holes between the spokes filled in

Maybe some of the original ones had cracked?

Very nice, similar to what I've ordered :D

Yeah I'm with you on the wheels, the original limited wheels look gash and these look even worse!

I think I'll stick winter tyres on mine and invest in some nicer looking wheels!!

How are you enjoying the van so far? 8)
