VW Amarok 18-inch Steel Wheels

[marmite monster]

apart form looking fatter from the rear (or front) is there any other advantage to banding a set of wheels? The 18" steels look good but are sort of skinny cos theyre bigger than the 16's which look OK at 6.5...
just trying to understand the fascination for cutting a wheel up and re-welding it back together again.

because it looks good....

It’s not that they are just fatter from the back. They have a deeper dish.

Thanks @highwaycollective in looking at where I want to go with wheels and having just read the gearbox thread, think I'll stick with what I have. They're round and have tyres...

Not sure which gearbox thread you are referring to but 18’s are sanctioned by VW. Amarok steels are the same size as sportline alloys.

Did you use your original bolts or were different ones needed and did you have buy the centre caps separate?
