Syncro wheels

Post by **sventhrusta** » 05 Jul 2006, 22:56

How much wider are standard 14" syncro wheels-been told they are wider than standard-looking to fill the rear wheel arches a bit more-have a Gipsy,on standard wheels looks like there aren't any if you know what I mean.Martin

agree on 14" wheels. They look undersized. I fitted Mercedes 15" wheels - looks right then

There are a few threads on wheels on here though.

You got a Gipsy too-welcome to the future-how many more of us are there?

syncronutz do fifteen inch wheels that are specced to carry the sort of weight you have, theres a lot of weight on a Gypsy I'd not be messing with merc rims or the like. syncro rims are hard to come by.

look out for "deep dish" wellers, these fit the standard tyre, are made of the proper metal, and will give a wider "track" to yr van, making it more stable....
you should be able to get a set for £70 to £125 odd squid.................

if they fit they should have 112x 14 stamped on 'em

I have a set of 14" by 6" wide (I think) standard steel 14" rims from a Syncro here that you're welcome to get out of my garden. They are the wider rims that were fitted with the 205 tyres. There are assorted tyres on them, but they're just littering up my garden at the moment.

Alternatively you could fit the 'pepperpot' alloys or the (rare) BBS cross-spokes that were occasionally fitted to T25s out of the box.

Wellers are those horrible cheap-looking 8 spoke things that appear to have been robbed off a Mini that had become trapped in the 80's.

Oooh, my Wellers are offended!!

BTW they don't just look cheap, they are (cheaper even than wheels robbed out of TCs garden if I had to put tyres on them too)!! But they do do the job and 80's looking wheels are kinda appropriate on my 80's looking van!!

Weller's on the Back, Pepperpot on the front, which are very similar to the awful xr2 alloys, which are also stuck in the 1980s, like our vans

Nice is a place or a biscuit, not a state of mind.

Matt as a biscuit.... ah yes, I can see that.
