cute but ask about weight rating and see what they say - they state they will fit, but don't state that they are suitable for T25, 750Kg I think you want as a minimum weight rating

I see. Maybe this does need following up for the sake of saftey for other bus owners? Thanks for the tip of Aiden.

Spoke to Retro Dubs yesterday. He is waiting for a reply from the manufactures. He said there TUV approved and should be fine on my caravelle with sparse interior (just a rock 'n' roll bed)...

yeah tha maybe ok, but its a good way for the insurance to back out of a claim if there not the correct rating!

Mate just a heads up.
The offset is pretty low. I'm running Empi 5 with a similar offset and the tyres wear on the inside rather quickly. am now trying to change em

Theres an awesome guide on the Brick yard forum in the T3 chat bit on suitable wheels, offsets etc

To be honest I've lost intrest in the whole T25 alloy wheel fitment saga atm. It's not helping though looking at pictures of vans with none suitable but cool looking alloys.
