Hey guys, I am thinking of putting some money aside to finally get some boots on the van but knowing that the wheels can be a bit tricky to change due to the stud pattern, size etc: I thought I would start this thread. Please post up a photo of your alloy wheels (ideally on your van) and include details such as: * Make * Model * Size * Any modifications needed to make them fit I quite fancy the wolfrace GTE alloy wheels (as fitted to JJ's van) but want to get some ideas  |

early wolf race slots 14" no mods needed if you get the right tyres,take into cost wheel nuts as they are specific to these wheels £30 + locking wheel nuts £30,centre caps £30 all from speedshack

Cheviot Turbos 13x6. Had to buy shank nuts because the studs weren't long enough.   |

Hey JJ, what were the alloys on your van before you got the scimitar ones? Also thanks for the replies so far...anyone else fancy sharing their wheels? Doubt i'll have anything by the Feb meeting but am quite fancying getting: * Alloys * Exhaust * Solar Panel * CB Radio * Stove by the summer, which should also finish my van off  |

I've got these still Van, but probably only 1000 miles left on the tyres. I have the correct spacers but you do need longer studs. Just a thought...  |

Thanks for the pictures guys. Titch, your older ones are not really my style. I do however like the Cobra Mag Slots/wolf race ones especially if they bolt straight on Think I'll have to have a hunt around on eBay come pay day I'm thinking polished or chromed then with red paint on the backside (pretty much JJ's style) though might try and add some led lighting too |
