Robinhood Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Not necessarily the cheapest, but they've been offering 'van and motorhome alloys for quite a long time: http://tyresave.co.uk/alloyvan.html You may want to look here to get an idea of options and costs.

fred22 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Why buy new? I purchased a set of refurbished wheels at a considerable saving on new price ,couldn't tell the difference.. Google " refurbished alloy wheels" and you will get a lot of hits. Probably a company near you can oblige A hint given to me by the refurbisher I used was that, before fitting your alloys. rub car wax on them covering all nooks and crannies, polish it off and do it again. A bit time consuming but I never had the problem of brake dust sticking and I never had to do more than wash them with car shampoo to maintain the shine.

flicka Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Just a thought & maybe stating the obvious. I think your biggest problem in the USED Market will be getting 6 Alloys that match. 4 possibly, 6 I'm very doubtful. But good luck with your search.

lennyhb Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 If you take up Fred's option of refurbished wheels make sure they have been X rayed for cracks as they will probably from a written off vehicles, also do ensure you get van wheels car ones will crack under the load on a van.

Robinhood Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Happy to help. They've been offering a motorhome service for some years, and know the difference between car and van alloys (loading requirement). The fact that I knew they would do sets of 6 was also relevant. Hope they look good on your 'van. B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
