Hi all
as i've been declared a Wheel Whoar by most other forums i'm active on, it seems fitting that as a Vauxhall Vivaro and Movano owner, i should do some experimenting with Alloy Wheel options, and display my findings as i go, selling each set as i go to fund the next experiment.
as some of you will have known, i've already done a number of wheel sizes and styles, including 16" so that you can just fit your original van tyres, and 18" for those who would like a more radical rubber change.
I've drawn a line really at 18" diameter, because 19's can drive crap, and start to become weaker in construction and prone to cracks and fractures, both due to using very shallow profile tyres which in turn gives the wheel itself a very hard time. This is true enough when the wheels are used on cars with a GVW of around half of what a Vivaro can legally weigh, so in the interest of safety, ride quality, and reliability, i've decided to max out at 18" which means i can still use a proper tyre that drives spot on.
Heres just a few that i've tried already
