Atlantic Alloys

Post by **Hypnovan** » 08 Apr 2008, 21:21

I recently bought an Atlantic and it came with Winter tyres on steel rims with plastic hubcaps. Are Atlantics supposed to have alloy rims?

I'd like to know the difference between Atlantics and Californias too if anyone knows.

Many thanks

Alloys were an option on Atlantics and California's.

Hi my Atlantic came with steels and snow tyres too, but alloys would look good.

I think that as alloys were an optional extra and that this Atlantic didn't come with them, that I'll leave it on steel rims unless someone has some to give me with non winter 185/14's on.

It may be that the previous owners did put alloys on and gave these as part of the deal and that the person I bought it from kept the alloys but so what. If that's the case, I have a standard Atlantic, which is what I wanted. I'll still fit locking nuts or bolts, whichever it has.

I've got about 20,000 miles left in these tyres as the receipt says they were fitted in Nov'07 and the vehicle has only done just over 1,200 miles since then.

Found a cheap stereo locally and fitting costs £35. Job done!

There's still stuff to be done, like buy window screens, one of those dashboard tray things, gas regulators ( campingaz and Butane),toilet, etc etc. I'm always open to listening to your tips.
