Newby Bought a T5 Transporter....

Looking nice Devilish. What did those wheels cost? I'm thinking of putting some big rollers on my beast.
Buy some thick ribbed rubber matting from a rubber supplier and cut it to fit put the ribbed side down.

looks sweeeeeet. Where did you purchase your wheels from as im looking for a set at the moment.

I purchased my second hand 2007 T5 from Barlow World 5 Dock last year, and paid around $33k, with 17000kms on it. I was very happy with the deal, and it's still a bloody good price compared to Car Point etc.
Colour coding, LWB, 128kw Man, spotless condition.
One year later, it's in Townsville, tarted up a bit more and pulling like a 14 year old school boy!

Good service from them I thought as well.

Very, very nice...Can you jog my memory, was your van a factory order or did you buy a locally available model. IIRC in 2007 colour coded bumpers from factory was about $1000 although this includes the chrome grill trim like a Multivan and my rubber floor mat was $275 from Vehquip (Ferntree Gully Vic)? Probably your cheapest option is Clark Rubber if you can cut the heavy rubber and place holes to match up with the floor tie down hooks.

PS without being a pain, would love 3qtr front and rear views if possible.

Then 22's... chrome lip with alloy face and black in the side bits...

Very nice wheels!!! well done

[Devilish]

Bought them from Tempe Tyres in sydney...

bought it locally, then added windows and got the bumpers painted

When are you coming by my office to show me the latest?

Very keen to do something similar in my Caddy Shack

[Devilish]

Dude,

The whole floor, wheel arches, inside the van and inside the walls,all of the walls and doors are sound deadened. Walls, side door and back door are carpeted, Rubber matted from the front pedals, in between the seats and all the way to the back door. This thing is so quiet it's scary.


I am having some mates bolt in 3 wheel channels and eye bolts for tie down, and they will bolt the standard one through the rubber matt, I don't have the tools to do this at home...

[Devilish]

Decidced these 22's are not for me... will buy another set after I sell these ones..

They are for sale in the parts sale section

I picked up my new T5 a few weeks ago and came across pics of your van on the Tempe website - I like the rims, they do look great but the ride must be so harsh. I'm still looking for some nice 18 inch rims.

[Devilish]

I have had 18's before, they look tiny...

I am selling these 22's now as I have decied they are too much chrome... I want to get some ones with less chrome and more black...

They are in the for sale section for 2k...


The ride isn't harsh at all, handles ****loads better than stock... I didn't really find anything harsh about them...
