nice one 8)

i fitted 16" wheels on my mk1 and went for the tyres that gave the same rolling radious as the old 14" but they looked too thin so when they wear out i'll fit bigger profile ones - suit vans more :D

dnt mind at all mate, that is the sore point though, they were wanting £1170 for the wheels :shock: but managed to get a 1 off discount from the manager ended up paying £940 all in a know not every1 would pay that for wheels but ave loved they wheels ever since they came out n a would rather pay the price for sumfin a really want rather than get the cheaper alloys which am not as keen on ,doubt a will ever sell them they will just end up on my nxt transit :lol: will be beans on toast for the nxt month though :lol:

Those 235/55/18 tyres look like they would be a perfectly balanced fit for the van and hopefully last longer than those on the Sportvan. Just need to make sure that you can still get full lock, though I doubt there would be any problem.

Look forward to the pics. Hell of a lot of money though!

well if u got them for £1070 with tyres a will nd to get on the phone to them 2morrow they said that tyres were extra in the price so i paid £940 for alloys alone, no tyres, on there web page they price 1 alloy wheel only no tyre at £257.85 so something dosnt seem quite rite here :? so scotty what u r saying is you got 4 sport alloys plus 4 conty tyres including delivery all for £1070?? even the guy who has the silver van with the sport wheels on this thead got them for the same price as me £940 but with NO tyres :evil: :evil:
