Can't decide what I want! Currently I have Devonports with Goodyear Cargo Vector 2 tyres which I can't fault really apart from one time I got stuck on a grassy incline. Tyres need replacing soon though and so tempted by all terrains but 98% used for on road.
Interested in Fuel Coverts in black and bronze, anybody got photos on a blue van please? Fuel Covert - 17" Matt Bronze Finish 8.5J 5x120 Wheels - Load Rated | Swamper / AT Wheels | Transporter HQ
Also thinking of sticking with OEM wheels, possibly Devonports (but black), Possadas or Canteras off an Amarok but thinking the Canteras would be too big and tyres too expensive - thoughts? Don't want fuel economy to suffer too much and like a comfortable ride.

I have gone round and round on this and have finally decided to go powder coated devonport & BFG 225/65. Hoping will look like this.
Powder coating booked for next Wednesday
Why spend any more?, if you don't need that much off-road bias; consider Pirelli Scorpion AT+I have gone round and round on this and have finally decided to go powder coated devonport & BFG 225/65. Hoping will look like this.

I was all set on the Michelin Agilis CrossClimate. Read all your posts on them. Then saw you got Pirelli Scorpion AT+ ! If I went to 235 I would have to get new wheels and my son pointed out Fuel Zephyrs would require a lot more cleaning. Happy with your Pirellis?
They look really really cool...I likes the satin/matt finish. I guess standard 17'' Devons? Do you mind me asking roughly what the powder coating and tyre costs are please?I have gone round and round on this and have finally decided to go powder coated devonport & BFG 225/65.

Thank you..sounds like a good price, is that £72 per wheel incl vat? And what planet it that on?
Yes, includes VAT. I think it is a normal price. I'm going to Chesham Alloys which is local to meThank you..sounds like a good price, is that £72 per wheel incl vat? And what planet it that on?
*is...lol.
Would love to see photos when its done please and a review of the company.....what colour is your van?
Will do. I'm on Team Indium Grey. New tyres and powder coating wheels next week then wheel arch mouldings. Should I keep the central starfish or not? Any thoughts?
Keep it, nobody wants to see your nuts!
The Pirelli's drive soo well on the road; I really like them; they don't perform quite as well in standing water as the directional all-seasons such as Nokian Weatherproof/ Michelin climate cross / Goodyear vector 4 seasons (SUV).
My Pirelli are 225/65/17 just look a bit thin (purely aesthetics); so 235/65/17 will look better, so long as you aren't too slammed.
I think the Michelin 235/60/17 Agilis Cross climates would be superb, I just thought their load rating would be a tad too high for us, as we run lightly loaded; (117 = 1285kg; I think I only run at 750-800kg max on my wheels), so I was just a bit concerned they might be a bit harsh, but I haven't tried them so I might be wrong.
Cool...my new van ordered a few weeks back is.....Indium Grey! I think keep the starfish myself....do they get PC'd too?
Ill keep a look out for your posts, cheers buddy.
Mate these look class. Did you paint these yourself? If so which paint/colour did you use?
