Re: new alloys for t25 without adapters
I feel your pain!
I have been chasing, enquired at Midland wheels, Vw heritage, performance alloys, retrodubs etc. Even enquired at Just Kampers all have ET 20. So depends on bearing wear/tyre wear, standing out too far etc.
I will let you know if I find any.

Re: new alloys for t25 without adapters
look for VW carat alloys.
Rob on here had set up for grabs.
they go straight on and only need different nuts/bolts.

Re: new alloys for t25 without adapters
Midland wheels sell at least one 7x17 wheel with an ET of 40
i looked at a set at vanfest last year, think they were a fuchs copy.
cant say as i rate the wheel quality from them though.
just campers stuff wont last long either.
what sort of size are you looking for ?
there are some wheels out there that bolt on direct (i meen no playing with spacers too..)
some 16"/17" mercedes , you just need to know what to look for .
16" granada cosworth.
not many 15" are a direct fit..
only really 7x15 et 25 wheels will fit direct, mercedes penta wheels can be found in this fitment.
most other 15" require spacers.
if you have an idear what you want i may be able to help.

Re: new alloys for t25 without adapters
16 inch granada cosworth wheel are not a strait fit. Centres are too small and rear studs are too short to fit them safely. The holes for nuts are big so different nuts are needed. Studs are 12mm on granada and t25 are 14mm so you cant use granada nuts iirc. I have granada wheels on mine. Its cheaper to go merc imho.
Sounds like a golf
Re: new alloys for t25 without adapters
i have a set of bbs style wheels fully refurbished on a t25 at moment so come with bolts etc and they are ready to just bolt on

Re: new alloys for t25 without adapters
I've heard some advice that longer rear studs are also needed - is that right or are the original rear studs long enough to get the nut on with the carat alloys?Titus A Duxass wrote:look for VW carat alloys.

The original studs are long enough but you do need different nuts/bolts (conical instead of radius).OriginalSeries2 wrote:I've heard some advice that longer rear studs are also needed - is that right or are the original rear studs long enough to get the nut on with the carat alloys?Titus A Duxass wrote:look for VW carat alloys.
