Thats got to have reraly puch these wheels over the limit

 

ive done 150 miles today and they haven't turned to dust.

Steering seems lighter (new tyres are blown up correctley)
Ride seems smoother.

and i haven't kerbed them ...... yet.

 

Don't say that mate, or it will all end it kerbed tears.

 

The weight of the car vs van is not the issue, it's the gvw of both vehicles, which is circa a tonne at a guess.
What's carried is not the point.
That van is subject to lower speed limits than a car on NSL roads when it's empty just the same as when it's fully laden, unladen weight is not the issue, for example.

Give you credit for doing it, would look better with the 19's, but then even the M3's look crap with 18's on them.
Wouldn't like to pay for the 19's tyres too often, like you say.

 

As for MOT, won't be a problem, police with use and construction etc may well be a different matter.

 

Would only be an issue on a class 7 MOT but is really no no, but hay he's not the only one running on car wheels. My Cosworth Transit is not only running on car wheels but 4 stud with adaptors.

 

would look better with tyre sizes to suit a van and not a bmw!

 

Ive kerbed em !!!

BOLOX!

500 miles and they're still ok.

 

I dont like it but fair play to u for trying something different

Plus if we were all interested in the same thing life would be very boring !!

 

sorry, i dont get it

 

hi ive just seen this post and some coments are un called for really and vans this size are the same speed as cars and i have looked thorouly into this as i run a luton van!!

it looks good mate and this is mine!!! before you all start yes this is a photoshop version but i have done the exact same as the pic and the wheels are only 17s!!! so before any 1 starts i dont care they are only 17s. thanks oh and these vans hold the road very well even before lowering it!!! i used to be able to go round round abouts at 50mph(big rbouts) with the original wheels!!!
heres mine so slag it off all you like!!

 

that yellow one looks photoshopped to me, not a dig by the way.

Fair play for being different with the wheels, they dont look bad, but do look a little lost imo

 

hi mate if you read my post i do say it is a photoshop pic!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i have done that exact stuff to the van so the wheels are on the bodywork is colorcoded and lowered (just like i said)

it look exactly the same as the pic. like the other guy said im not a rich guy so cant afford the 20s and this isnt a work van either

 

i like it!does the St transit not have ST rims on?or are they special van ones??

 

if i had the talent i have a c20 let engine sitting here that i think would be great in it but i wouldnt have a clue on were to start. if you dont know the c20 let is the cav and calibre turbo engine.

 

sorry i didnt read it, I just look at pictures

one for me then

 

no worries mate

 

Looks pretty good... Wonder if the wife would mind if i swapped the wheels from my Sky van for her B-M wheels??!
You a Sky engineer mate? How come its not all done up in Sky colours? If your TM is a bit slow, he might not notice when its time for your van check...

 

5 series wheels your a joke that van can weight 2.7 tons round a córner thats 2.7 tons forced to one córner plus the córner speed forces And on a more serious note for other drivers you Are NOT INSURED as your not using load bearing alloys if i has your reg id report you to the Dvla thanks

 

looks fine, no probs there, are they genuine BMW mv2s , reason i ask is i bought some reps for my old 330 and they were fine, until i rubbed a kerb with the face of the drivers rear 5 mph whilst parralell parking and the wheel literally discintegrated and broke two spokes, when south west tyres (who i bought them from) looked at the wheel they said they will cease selling them as the alloy is far to soft and could be dangerous. genuine bmw ones are solid enough though

 

nice first post

 

the flying lemon lol

 

get a life you fucking idiot

 

Wheels and tyres as a package need to be load bearing on all commercial vehicles or it invalidates any insurance claim there be due to incorrect running gear. Thats why van alloys are more expensive

 

im liking this mate, mayb some light bars from kelsa and it would look the bollocks

 

actually yes they do as its not what equipment has caused the wheels to snap its the weight of the equipment.

A good friend of mine had 9 15" subs in a mk2 granada about 10 years ago and had wheels made to order from the states - both back wheels cracked after a year or two.

 

Sounds like poor quality wheels to be honest if they cracked due to only 9 15" subs. A boot full of shopping would weigh more than that.

 

Do ytou not think they look like an ugly van.

 

get a life homme

what do you do for a living btw?





:van looks great mate & as said aslong as there genuine 5 series alloys they will be fine as i fully laden 5 series inc caravan or trailer will weigh more than your van ever will

 

a mate of mine has a vw transporter it had some 18 inch golf wheels on (till they got nicked.loll) and he fills his van right up to the limit with engines and other carparts and never had a problem

they look mint imo

 

Are you sure this isn't a photoshop ? the reflections on the side of the van look too dull and the reflection in the back window doesn't match the rest along the side of the van or the front window , which from the angle of the pic, it looks like it should oh and the back wheel looks a long way inside the arch.. if you want.. i can change the reflections !!

I quite like the other van with the beemer wheels on it, thinking outside the box is always good !

**Edit** a word of advise if your going to photoshop anything else.. make sure you atleast get the reflections right in the front bumper !

 

erm, he did say it was a photoshop

 

ffs!!!

i think it looks good.

I've seen loads of vans on car wheels - usually with car tyres and steel wheel bolts which is obviously much more dangerous!

about transit sport, they are propper transit alloys not st wheels!

 

id just like to ad!! what happens when you buy a van that isnt a van? they dont run on load bearing wheels and as i said this isnt used as a van any more. and also who drives a 7 seater? any 1? do these cars not wieght about the same as a van? i think so as they arnt much different and what happens when you have 7 people that wieght 10st or more christ 70st in a car!!!!!!!!!!

those ppl who dnt like these types of vans shud just get real and get a life. if u dont like them dont reply simples!!!

and thanks to the guys who do like our vans. and its nearly there and im getting a bull bar for the van yes.

 

Sherlock holmes has got nothing on you... You'd make a great detective. I'm sure if he wanted to see perfect reflections, and the wheels sitting perfectly, he would just look out the window mate.


Benni.

 

Sell the c20let and fit a z20let, it will be a lot easier and still good for decent power.

 

So then Rich Bloor, have the massively over engineered BMW wheels fallen in half yet like eall the PF regulations experts said they would 18 months ago?

 

im loving the fact that people are still commenting on my van.

Unfortunatly, i had to sell it eairler this year, The guy who bought it off me said he loved the look, but he was going to put some 19" X5 sport alloys on it. The spigot rings i had made will live on...

Chip. i did about 12000 miles on em, they were fine.

 

Surely when you sold it, it couldnt possibly have still been on the wheels that the PF experts said would break?

 

HAHAHA, PF experts mabey not, PF members with loud opinions, prorbably
