Nice van. Merc wheels and VAG for second hand. looks like audi hairdresser wheels on at the mo.
There's a real nice one round my way, two tone brown, chocholate below the swage, beige above. Maybe get the top half sprayed powder blue, then fit some smaller not larger wheels, penta's perhaps with powder blue spokes and polished rims for a modern van retro style crossover win.
Or keep it as is and find the biggest baddest set of amg mono blocks you can and spend the rest of yer life paying for the tyres.
Good luck with the teaching by the way, Been teaching secondary for three years, I'm skint, always at work and always knackered. But I love it. You are braver than me if you are considering takling primary, far too much work for my liking!

You're going to be one of those really cool teachers, what with your surf-wagon in the carpark. I bet you'll let the kids call you by your first name, and let them say 'curse word' in lessons. Ahem. 5x112 you say..... BRMs? Not very euro OR J though. Can't see much in the PCD-o-matic that lends itself to donating rimz. Found these in 16" from www.shinaland.ru |

i have been having dreamz about monoblock wheels.... or those 'lenzo' block rims with 5 kinda triangle cut outs in them.... the reason i had for staying large was to keep the gearing nearly correct to standard 15s on big tyres.... i was thinking of those big brms too pillock, 17 or 18s i think and ive been toying with two tone or bottom 1/3 of van in fablon shocker..... |

TBH i'd go Merc 15" steelies.
i've bought several sets of Merc and Audi
alloys for my wedge and never fitted any
of them, got 'em all stored away and ended
up fitting satin black Weller 8 spokes.

17" BRMs from flat4 would be the shizz, but are way out of budget! I think they aren't 5x112 either.

There are some quite fat 16" Merc and VAG steelies about, maxing out at summat like the 7.5 x 16 off the E Class. Steelies FTW.  |

I do like seeing vans like this- Completely plain, but nice set of wheels and a couple of decent stickers! Probably just because I'd like to have something to chuck a couple of boards and bikes in the back of!
Good work!

I rather like the ones you've got on, and anything I'd suggest would be a similar big diameter flat face style. For a new look, how about painting your current wheels black/dark grey and adding a stripe (red?) around the rim. Summary: Spend the money on something else! |
