Aracju vs Woodstock

[JuanVecino2023]

Pondering on the no cost option 17” wheels with an Ascot Grey van.

Devonport already discounted.

Palmerstons are the best OEM's

 

[Kayleigh]

Discounted Devonports for me!

Don't go with any diamond cut wheels. They will rot with wheel worm. The lacquer gets chipped road salt gets in and the alloy surface looks like sh1t

We’ve had Davenports on 2 Oceans, and they’re really easy to look after. Just ordered a new Ascot Grey Ocean and fancied a change. Don’t like the aracju’s, look too fussy. Went for Woodstocks. Yes, diamond cut are a disaster, as soon as they look tatty I’ll have them powder coated matt black, which should look good with the Ascot Grey. Anything more than 17’s are pointless on a Cali IMHO. Oh, and spec the 235 tyres (I’ve gone for the all season option too). They ride so much better than the 215’s.

No cost options are the brief though

I have Woodstock, but bought a set off Aracaju for WHEN the Woodstocks are wrecked.

235 v 215 really make much of a difference? (Having ordered 215..)

A plusher ride, a little more traction but at the expense of a couple mpg. Get some quality 235's as the OEM Bridgestones are sh!te.

Absolutely agree.

I think the Woodstock look great, however they need a low profile tyre. I felt they looked silly with the 17 inch tyres so I opted for Davenports. Although the Woodstocks look better I felt the Davenports complement the thicker tyre wall better.

Aracaju. Woodstocks look ok on the near side but all wrong on the off side , messes with my OCD….

Just like the Porsche Technology wheels. Look great when observed from one side but when you know the directions reverse on the other side....totally unacceptable.

I agree! Given the narrow choice, Aracaju plus a decent wheel cleaning brush!

Arrow choice driven by no cost options available and having discounted Devonports.

Huge difference IME. Like driving a different van, massively more comfortable. The 215’s always felt very crashy.
