hi has anyone got a pic of van running.just kampers 14/6 seven spoke alloys. or even seen one . :?: :?:
 
Just had a look at these, didn't know JK made alloys.
Although i do think they look a little Chav'y. Nice price though and might look better when fitted but will have to wait and see
 
Saw a few sets towards the end of last year at Santapod on late Bays, didnt like em.Didnt like the wheels either :mrgreen:
 
i was unsure about them. wanted to go that bit lower and apart from ro80s carnt think of any other 14 inch rims(dont want standard) :|
 
There was a pic around of a white US Westy with them on, I assume it was Photoshopped or done just for the publicity, as it looked awful :D
 
a fella in our club has these on his real ratty early and they look ok ......cheap enuff anyway , mind you , you get what ya pay for :roll:
 
Just had a look on the web site as I couldn't picture the wheels in my mind. I now realise the reason is that they are so horrible (in my opinion) that I will have deleted them from my memory. Presume they come in the correct pcd for a 'Max Power' Citroen Saxo, 'cos that's what they look more suited to. I am wondering why it is that you want to stick to 14" rims when there are so many 15" to choose from and that size has become the 'norm'?
Didn't notice the price, how much do they pay for anyone to run them? Can't be enough.
Particularly if they are of the same quality as the last things I bought from JK. When I say 'the last things I bought from JK' I mean the last things I bought from JK are the last things I shall ever buy from JK. Crap. Sorry, let me emphasize that a little more. CRAP. In fairness, have to say their returns department is faultless, practice makes perfect.
 
it's a lowering trick. well, not a 'trick' as such, more like half an inch closer to the floor for the same sidewall profile... irrelevant in 99% of cases but could be all-important for that 1% 8)

luckily, my favourite wheels look best in 14", so that's me sorted :p

have i mentioned my 15" wheel conspiracy theory ?

hello ? hello ? come back... i'll talk about something else...

'these' wheels are so wide of the mark it's hard to imagine the circumstances surrounding their design :?

Heres the pic.

I think I was right? ;)

To be fair, I think they wanted a wheel mainly for the later T25, T4 and T5 market, as I guess the 'classic' repro market is pretty much sewn up. The fact that late early bays share the stud pattern with T25's is coincidental and offered as a option jsut in case as much as anything. As ever, the wheel on the right van could look great* - a dead low ratty bus with spanking modern wheels has the ability to be cool. mostly using the contrast.


* Generosity is a failing of mine ;)
 
Just plain nasty...............almost as if some "designer" had in mind a set of DSRs' nipped out for a quick toke, then put pen to paper before the munchies set in.........nasty
 
I had the 5 spoke 17 in on my T25 and I thought they looked really good ,so i tried them on my t2 and thought not so good,

i dont think they suit a bay as well as a T25
 
definitely for a modern vehicle, halfrauds have a much better selection for the burberry wearing amongst us.
 
i would love them,ive needed something to wrap the airline round for a while now :mrgreen:
