The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.

  • 17 inch VW Steels Powder coated Satin Black

    Well, it took me a while to get it organised, i did buy a secondhand set of T6 steels to get powder coated,

    But i found out that my 17 inch steels are a higher load rating (950kg) than the standard Aus T6's (850kg) i had to change the tires over to get my rims into get powder coated

    I got the Rims back from the Powdercoaters yesterday, they came up damm good in Satin Black.

    The powdercoater did a great job, no runs, no bumps.

    Got the Cargo Vector 2's reinstalled, was tempted to get 225/65 R17 KO'2, But will get the Seikel Suspension fitted, as QLD Transport won't allow both unless i undergo engineers testing for the ABS and ESP


    They only have tests for suspension and tire increase up to 50mm, but didn't do both together up to 50mm for both, so unless you pay for the testing, its not legal to have both.

    Not the Greatest photo, as there is sitting in the shade this arvo, and the wheels need to be cleaned after the tires where refitted.

    Will Plasti Dip the Wheelchair Lift panel black under the sliding door, as the powder coat will be damaged after using the lift, (the front swings down onto the ground) at least Plasti dip is a bit more flexible, and easy to fix.

    Looking good Bryn. Black wheels on a white van looks great IMHO. Haha

      Cheers Markee,


      I saw a White T5 Edition 25 with Black rims and a Black roof a few years ago and loved the look.

      There is just something beautiful with the simplicity of White and Black.

      Although it doesn't have the awesome stance, that yours has with those huge tires and black rims.

        Great looking van Bryn, looking for 17" steels to go on my T5 so could I ask where you got them from?

          Hi Pickle,


          I used the 17 inch steels that came on my van.

          I brought a spare set of 17 inch steels, that i planned on for a second tire set for oversize AT's, but i then changed my plans as i when with the lift kit instead, and i can't legally do both and also the rims weren't legally rated for my special order van.

          Im looking at selling them and they are legally load rated for Australian delivered Transporters, if you are interested and we are both in Brisbane.

          I got them off Gumtree, it took a while until a decent set came up for a decent price.

          PM if you want to know what i paid.
