Team Banded Brothers.
- Thread starter Tourershine
- Start date
I've been told that they are not available for about 3 weeks (stock) so 4-5 weeks for delivery. End of July basically but I'm a patient man
They look worth the wait 
Always happy to see people busy, especially given the current times. Must mean he's pretty good at what he does.

Going on, on Saturday with stance+ coils
For me it’s standard Matt black with chrome VW badge centres.
Absolutely, they will look spot on.
Silver wheels suit an indium grey van so well, that looks great.
Centre caps are a weird one, they do 4 standard styles. What we call Slots or Holes, Chrome badge or none Chrome badge.
The slot style are like yours above @Euantdi and they are for the later T6's, available in the rare Chrome badge style like yours. Rare because they only came on much higher spec T6's like the Velle apparently, and rare because who opts for steel wheel on high spec Transporters. These fetch a premium on places like eBay and i've seen them advertised for £85 each. However, the chrome centres don't suit every steel and T6 colour, as i've found out to my annoyance. Or you can have my favourite, the Slots in none Chrome centres for as little as £25 delivered here For Sale - Steel Wheel Centre-caps for a set of 5.
Many of the banded guys seem to prefer the early Hole style, maybe because the holes in the caps, match the holes on Amarok steels, but personally I prefer the standard none Chrome Slots on a Chrome steel and the Chrome centre Slots on a factory Silver wheel.
Saying all that @Euantdi yours looks pretty aggressive with no caps at all, apart from the standard VW rusty hub centres.

Please post up some pics once fitted mate.
I'm missing my steels now
Duchy is sending a set of banded 17s back to my tyre shop next week for a new set of winter/ all seasons to be fitted which were meant to be my winter wheels, but I might throw them on the van just because I miss steel so much and my 20s are not ideal for a daily that crunches up and down the country every day.
@Tourershine What size tyres are you running on your 20’s if you don’t mind me asking? Also how low have you got your B14’s set at?
245/40/20 on a 10" so has a huge stretch.
My B14's have had the rear adjusters deleted with the proper delete kit from Transporter HQ and the front is maxed out with the machined top mount. Both of these mods gave my B14s another 10-15mm drop, but bare in mind that my van is heavy with all my work kit and fully boarded out with 18mm ply, so it will naturally sit lower than any other T6 with the same mods.
It still drives the same as it did with the B14s on max drop. Stiff yes, but certainly not uncomfortable for me. The only drawback is I cannot get on some drives and speed humps are a bit of a pain because I need to go very slow.
Just noticed you are from Leicestershire, where about's?
Wow, another T6 minefield @Tourershine
