Damm fine T6 rims

[Bryn23]

So tempting,

I've seen these on a Amarok, when i ordered my T6, but they didn't have the right size.

But now they are making a 18 x 8.5 set for the T6

sure are different!!
not keen on the outer bolts though, i'd be painting them black

[Bryn23]

yeah the beadlock bolts do need to be matt black as well.

I've emailed Wolf4x4 for a price, i really like them.

Certainly are outside the norm how much $$$$$

[Bryn23]

Not sure yet sunny,

Awaiting the price from the Aussie Delta Supplier, he is waiting for the price from Germany.

ill let you know once I've found out.

Found this place here at North Lakes in Brisbane according to the ad they are in stock $550 each 4WD Accessories - Wolf 4x4 - Delta 4x4 Klassik Black Polished Beadlock - VW Amarok

That is the supplier that is quoting

Those are different sized rims, the transporter version are 8.5 inch, the amarok version has a different offset and has a larger rim.

Im expecting them to be around the same price.

I didn,t look into specs but yes price should be almost the same {hopefully }

Don't forget to correct your speedo!!!

Speedo???? i drive with the pedal to the metal, don't have time to look at the speedo

But yes, Im aware of the speedo being out, the diameter on those tires is just over 6%

Can i get these tyres for my t5 4 motion 14 model? Do you think they'll be noisy running up the highway.. how do you deaden the tyre noise?
So many things to do..��

[Bryn23]

You can, but you have to check your local regs on upsized tires, i'm not sure about NSW, if your van has ESP, you have to double check if you can lift and put on bigger wheels.

I checked on the tires today, just over $500 each for these retail.... as much as i love the rims, i think the tires are overpriced, most likey looking at $4-4.5K for the setup of tires and rims.

i wouldn't be surprised if they very bloody noisy, as they are a real AT tire, you could add dynamat or similar sounder deadener over the wheel arches, but they always tend to be noisy.

I'm going to keep looking at my options, as i might as well just powder coat my 17 steel rims matt black and call it a day, and buy a new tablesaw instead.

HOW to correct the speedo in a T5.1?

Any advice on just HOW to correct the speedo in a T5.1?

I think I'm correct in saying that in many?all VWs there is a Distance Impulse Number that the computer uses to calculate road speed from tyre diameter but I am pretty sure I can't find anyone who has talked about having actuaslly chenged it in a T5.1 (or T5). This does require access to the digital innards (Instrument Control Module) but my local VW Service Manager (who has always been very good) says he's never heard of the Distance Impulse Number. In other vehicles Europeans and US VW owners use the un-cheap Ross-Tech VCDS system.

It would be good to heard comments from anyone who knows if it is possible.

I don' think anyone on the forum has yet said they have successfully persuaded authorities to accept a GPS-provided speed as the "speedometer" for their vehicle.

(I think the Distance Impulse Number is in effect an index of the actual vehicle model. (So the three wheel size/tyre size combinations in a T5.1, for example, all give a rolling circumference within a couple of mm.) VW electronics/firmware common to many vehicles distinguishes between at least some models on the basis of Wheel Size (i.e. Distance Impulse Number). Apparently in sedans, at least, you can change tyre circumference and effectively tell the computer you are driving a Golf (for example) and not the actual ?Skoda? the vehicle is, and thus correct a speedo reading.

See Speedometer fast error adjustment and correction - mk5, mk6 | VW TDI forum, Audi, Porsche, and Chevy Cruze diesel forum)

FWIW folks.

Don't forget to correct your speedo!!!

On my T6 4motion I have a "winter tyres" option within the MFD. Corrects the speedo +10km/hr or -10km/hr. Perfect for running bigger circumference wheels / tyres.
