Introducing The Van Cave
Like any other machined or polished finish, yes, the risks of wheel worm are always there. Anyone looking at any wheels with such a finish needs to be aware of that. Ceramic coatings, regular cleaning with gentle, non-acidic cleaners, timely repair of even minor stone chips or scuffs will help reduce the risk, but yes, it's always going to be a risk.
Any machined/polished wheel finish isn't as durable as a painted or powder coated finish.
Aka - what they don’t tell you at the start! Great advice @ChrisR
So, finally, here are some pics now they’re on (and clean).
Very dark!
Yep, beautiful wheels, but satin black takes some getting used to after always running bright silver in the past!
A couple of close ups. One trying to show the concave look of the rears.
Cheers! 265/40 rear and 235/45 front. It’s all the way down on H&R coilovers plus machined front top mounts and rear adjuster deletes. It’s about 90-95mm lower than standard. I need to rethink the tyres though because I’m too low to run these sizes without a bit of rubbing now and then. If I ran the suspension without the extra drop from the top mounts and adjuster deletes they would be fine as they are.
@Paul Binding recently trusted The Van Cave to apply a few choice mods to his already gorgeous Chestnut Brown T6 Kombi.
In addition to the great spec it was already running it now has:
THQ V3 Black LED Headlights
H&R Damping rate adjustable coil over suspension
Gloss Black Upper and Lower Front Grills
Gloss Black Lower Splitter.
Keep your eyes on this van, Paul isn't finished yet and we'll be helping him along the way in the future too.

Did Chris supply your front splitter ,if not were did you get it?
Hi and thanks! Sadly, I have no stock of Torque and there’s nothing at Inovit either.
Unfortunately, Inovit, like many other wheel manufacturers, are struggling to keep up with demand at the moment so there’s no stock of several styles.
I have 1 set of Speed in staggered 20s with the machined dark finish in stock and there are loads of Blitz in all finishes available next day to customers, but that’s about it.
Several styles are due in March, April and May, but it’s a bit of a waiting game for Inovit wheels at the moment.
White van + dark wheels = gorgeous. Torque will work very nicely!
Thanks for the reply. I thought that may be the case but thought it was worth asking! Typical that we finally settle on a set and then can’t buy them! Will have to just be patient. Probably best to wait for the nicer weather anyway.
Could be another one on the list of possibilities, looks good on yours mate, pity they don’t do it in gloss black
