Steel wheels

[Slavo]

Hi,

I'm after some advice on steel wheels.

How good are new wheels sold in comparison to original?

I have a bay window front beam with discs on my splitty and so the front and rear stud pattern are different. If I bought steel wheels, when fitted with the domed hubcaps, would these look the same?

Anyone else have this setup and like to give any advice?

Also, what width wheels and tyres will fit underneath? It's a 61 fitted with correct side panels from autocraft, correct doglegs from WW.

Thanks.

The hubcaps are different so it'll look different, plus the wheels are different too.

Repro steels are okay, offset is same if stock width.

I know nothing about this but what are these vwjim?
Are these adaptors to fit wide 5 to bay hubs?

Thanks both.

The van previously had adapters to 5 stud porsche pattern but the wheels don't fit under the rear arches.

I'm thinking it may be best to get a pair of 'bay to split' 112 to 205 adapters for the front and go from there but found that I'll run into problems with fouling the calipers...

Get rid of the Bay beam. Your track width won't be compromised / won't need adapters / ride quality will probably improve etc
