It just really does not matter one little bit. Whatever you choose it`ll be cool as cool can be. :mrgreen:

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,, After a week you`ll change your mind anyhow :lol: ;) :lol:
 
On stock , but will be looking for some sprint stars when I get the engine ,steering box,interior and stance sorted :) :) lol
 
Put the money into lowering as well as budget allows and rock the steelies, it's a nice understated look. 8)
The size you'll prob need for the front (185/60R14) is cheap as chips too.

Then when funds allow and you fancy a changing, swapping wheels is a simple job and you get a whole new look for your bus! :D

We did it that way - skimped on wheels to be able to afford dropped spindles and have a comfy ride. Looked ace. Put the burners on when funds had recovered but now also have set of steels about can pop back on when fancy a change!
 
after a lot of thought i decide today to just clean the hub caps on the van and they came up really good (like new infact) any way i had a can of pastel white paint in the garage so i sprayed the back wheel and let it dry just to see if i liked the look of it and black the tyre to hide the over spray :lol: , anyway i liked the look of it so i'm going to take the wheels off one at a time and do them proper going to take a while as i only get weekends to do it but i will save a lot of cash this way , so at some point i will be selling my brand new john brown empi 5 spoke style wheels there still in the box never seen the light of day

Problem with colour coding is it doesn't show up without inserts and you end up constantly replacing them.
Prefer the stance of the alloys, dont go to low though, Mine was that low I was grounding on the beam so raised it a little.

Theres not much that has such an impact on the look of your bus as the wheels imo..... Im on stock at the momemt with mild lowering (one spline down at back then leveled out at front)..... might go for BRM's when I fancy a change
