I have my rat ute, it has 17' Merc AMG rims on at present, I an not a avid lover of these but they look good, I have a T4 and have some wheels for this Van, SO, I thought I would try the T4 17' alloys on the Ute.
Please tell me what you think.
Which ones shall I keep for the Ute!
thanks
Andy

The 17s look 2 new and you wont like the ride with the low profile tyres

Narrow the front beam and stick with the AMG Hammers oh ! and lower it alot more . love it.

Hammer time!
Anthiron ·

Dasdubber ·
Yeah I reckon the AMGs but maybe paint the centres a darker colour for contrast....maybe?
bond ·

watch out for the rim police if you decide to go the alloys 😉

Go the alloys Andy! The AMG look cool but those 17's are real sweet. I had to bite my tongue when at your place, they nearly left on my T4. The money situation pulled me up. They are a real nice looking wheel. The ride wont be that bad, you buggers up in northern Tas have only got good roads anyway.

amg it up baby

AMGs and what Das said ... lowered narrowed... ooooh yeah baby!! :sandrine
oval TOFU ·
yeh, AMG and lower it... the new alloys look too new...if you know what I mean... The best thing about AMG rims (merc ones, not the AMG Alloy Wheel brand) are that they look friggin tough and not racerboyesque..

Keep the AMGs mate. The centres would look good in black though (or as is-still good)
tassupervee ·
Hey Andy
They both look shithouse.................................................bwaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahah! Just like their owner!!!!!!!
Tee Hee!!!
pete wood ·
I'm with Das, paint the centres and detail the rims. then put some redstrip tyres on and DUMP! 👍
VWCOOL ·

kombis are so fat they need fat looking wheels, go the AMGs.
Gibbo ·
Go the spoked ones mate, looks killer! 🙂
tassupervee ·
It sure is in the eye of the beholder!
Thing is Andy claims its a "rat" ute!
They are both lush looking wheels I gotta say! Those things on the rear would look cewl on my F-Vee!
Pimping it up that kind of wheel bling kinda goes against the "rat" grain dun you reckon?
Get some old 14" Sunraysias and paint 'em matt black Andy!
Keep the "Rat" thang happening!!!

baybuscamperkid ·
actually 14" sunny's matt black with huge rubber would look pretty cool too 😀
jnr356 ·
neither
blutopless2 ·
well you asked...lol... i prefer the look of the spoked wheels... personally think that if you are gonna wheel it up then you need a wheel that "does" something and has a look that attracts peoples attention to it.. the AMG's - while a nice look on mercs - dont really have that effect.
but hey... what do i know about wheels?
and besides Andy... surely YOU have more wheels to choose from??? 😂
blutopless2 ·
oh... but the downside to the spoked ones is they will be a bitch to clean... 😠

Hi akean1.....kindly enlighten me on the..'rim police' bit?
Volkswagenboy ·
Yeah, what's that all about? Do you mean theves, police saying 'They're too big' or people who'll be critical about an old skool VW with alloys?
-Staggers.
kroozzn63 ·
those are too modern . fuchs or earlier
decked dubby ·
They look too modern, neither.

hehe - rats and big chrome wheels? they go together like pee's and carrots on this forum!

I thought that was the classic rat look, an old worn and tired volksie and some, horn as, bling arse wheels coupled with a kick arse donk.
VolksFolks ·
tis close!
having a 1835 power donk built and the wheels, well sliding towards stock, may go stock t5 steel rims as they are 16' with red walls!

never seen them but im pretty sure th=ey exist, an astheticly minded crew who will do all sorts of nasty things to your family if they believe you are being a little rediculous with your rims, especialy those 24 inch's
