    T5 Aftermarket Wheels

    Hey guys,
    Just delaminated a tyre driving to Byron on the weekend. I am thinking as I'm going to be getting wheels in the near future now is as good a time as any so have been doing a bit of looking but am getting quite confused with all the load ratings and what tyres are readily avaliable to fit what wheels and for what price etc.

    These are pretty much what i want: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/18-340-MB-ALLOY-WHEELS-LOAD-RATED-VW-TRANSPORTER-T5-T28-T30-T32-VAN-/201148976680?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item 2ed569ce28
    Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this brand? If so any good? Or if i should maybe step up to these:
    AVANT GARDE M310 20X8.5 5x120 MATTE BLACK WHEEL & TYRE PACKAGE - OzzyTyres

    Cheers for any help.

    When we fitted ours there was no mention of the optional coloured spokes might have been tempted but the black does look cool .

    That's a nice looking van Sunny!
    I just got ordered some Maxxis MA-P1 for $170 each. Couldn't make a decision quick enough so just went tyres instead.

    Thanks guys we like tem too !!The van is due to go back to the Wrap Shop who did the side wrap , unfortunately the brushed alloy stuff was faulty from the manufacturers . It bubbled and burst in a couple of the curved parts then it turns out the black tape for the top and bottom would not adhere to the brushed alloy stuff and parts of that have just blown off . Luckily the guy who owns the Wrap place is a long term mate so he is going to do the job again for free and 3M are supplying all materials free as well .
