19" Amarok Cantera Wheels

Just got my van back from Bognor Motors with my 15mm rear spacers and got them to raise me up 20mm after snapping 2 springs in 18 months!
It seems that being 70mm low is too low for my KW1's to last.
I'll be interested to see how you get on with your STX, as I understand that they are the same setup. Do you carry any proper weight from time to time?

Snapped spring on KW1
Got the bill today to replace the second failed spring. It seems that KW are only willing to replace the snapped spring (and not the rear pair) following the failure. I told @BognorMotors to replace both rear springs following the failure, even if I had to pay the extra. I can't grumble to...

I‘ve done 3k miles with them down like this although only recently removed the adjusters and fitted the Powerflex deletes to bring the back down further. The only weight in the back is the Kombi bench and my storage pod that holds the Ecoflow Delta Mini. Mostly just me in the van - although I am fat I wouldn’t say I was ‘proper weight’
I only have a Kombi setup with an Ovano in the back, but from time to time remove the Ovano and seats and load the vehicle with as much as 700kg of stuff.
I think that this is what has caused the springs to fail, but the annoying thing is that I initially went with KW V1 coil overs because they are rated for T32. I am hoping that i have just been unlucky, but it is getting a bit boring if these springs fail every 12k miles or so, just because the springs can't cope with the weight which they are allegedly suitable for!

Yeah i want to space the rears out but ideally id like some lower profile tyres but think this is impossible with a T32 load ratingNice
See my posts on previous page
The silver is a nice contrast, but they look more grey in that last photo, which kind of suits.Pondering new wheels or powder coating my Canteras a different colour. The wheels are still mint so am cautious about ‘spoiling’ them…
Have tou considered a grey, similar in colour to BMW alloys..?
Just dirty
I saw someone did BMW Ferric Grey and they looked nice.
Thanks - I run these and for the limited driving at night that I do, which is mostly round town, they have so far stopped me ‘needing’ to spend money on new headlights
Very nice looking wheels. What tyres did you fit?
Liking the Conteras and starting to think its the route I might go down. I have chrome rails unlike your black which will probably mean I will need to stick with the silver as could be too many colours going on.
Let me know if your wallet gets better anytime soon and you decide on something different, I might be interested

Selling mine in satin ferric grey if anyone is looking. With Michelin cross climate tyres. In the for sale section.
Sold - Cantera wheels (x5 or x4) + Michelin cross climate tyres
Due to change to 20s I’m selling my Cantera 19” wheels. They were refurbed in satin ferrite grey around a year ago. I had 5 refurbed and one has not been used since. The 4 that were fitted have Michelin cross climate 255/45 r19 tyres, which work out at about 250 a corner. 3 are 104 load rated...
I'm thinking of selling my Canteras. Devanti Wintoura+ winter tyres (however I have run them through summer twice (still 5mm min tread left and 1 new tyre a moth ago). Load rated for T32.
