I've seen quite a few people with various types of non vw alloys on their buses, like boxter wheels & similar but how can you tell if there man enough for the job.
I'd like to change mine for something else, so should I be overly concerned about the weight...

My bus has a reimo interior with a leisure drive roof.

Its a valid concern, a lot of people use wheels from mercs and the bigger Audi's. Ive never been sure about Porches, they are hardly the heavy car, but equally I havent heard of them failing?

I've seen some " borbet " alloys I quite like the look of they've a good ET & not too big......but there not the usual borbet's people use on their t25s
I'm interested to know whats everyone's views.

You may need to extend the sliding door hinge should you want to fit wider wheels.

I like steelies personally but you might consider the Mercedes Toliman wheel. Good match for these vans, if a little expensive.

Indeed
4x4 mercs are heavy and the rims are tough with known load limits.
