Wanted Steel Wheels with or without Tyres

[Jabberwocky]

Can anyone help me?
I've searched the forum and can only find what I would call out of date information (2013-15) about a great place to buy steel wheels and tyres.
I am looking for new 17" VW wheels (4), as shown below, with inserts with or without tyres. If with tyres they must be winter ones with SF mark and 215's or 235's.

Have you tried ebay and the VW T5 forum on facebook? usually lots of wheels/tyres for sale.

I had this link bookmarked.....for one place posted by @Loz i believe.

I'm been toying with them as full winters or at least a second set with All weather to save the alloys from all the winter road crud.

Interesting service they offer wheel and tyre together, but fitting extra.

Bought my wheels and tyres from tyreleader.co.uk their service was excellent. I didn't use the fitting service though because my local garage does them cheaper.

Rik ,
Just wait until 4x reported a stolen spare and then check out Ebay

The ones you show are the standaard steels witch are hard to find in a tyre shop i think . Have you had a quote from VW ?

HC, thx for advice.
Good shout re ebay!
I like the standard wheels they look very business like and I'd rather curb them than my black cascavals over the winter.
Poping into local VW van centre tomorrow - we will see what prices they can offer. Could be interesting too because I have a £250 credit voucher from VWCS which I need to spend (wisely of course!!).
Will post outcome.

Even so I thought £54 was not a bad price for new.

Well, that was interesting!
Visited local VW van centre and asked about price for steel wheels for my Feb 2017 T6 Cali. Gave them the reg number and was advised that this was the steel for my Cali. 7 x 17R ET55 and they are £106.34 each inc VAT. No deals.

The dealer stressed that the ET55 was an important designation. What does ET55 signify I ask? To be honest I'm not sure was the reply. I since discovered, I think, that it's the offset. I never knew trying to buy some rims was so complicated!
Anyway "I didn't want that design I wanted this type" I say:

Not sure they'll fit correctly........"Ah Ok" I say. I say my thank you's and leave!

I got prices of the design I want of £58.70 and £53.63 each from two independent suppliers (Wheels24 and Tyreleaders) for new rims. Could that be possible for genuine VW rims?

@Lee has an advert for the steel wheels and winter tyres on the forum, might still be available? It is listed within a general accessories for sale post.

I just had a quick search at the Swiss Tyre Site (I guess it is actually international however) reifendirekt.ch to compare this prices.

Cheers Sapto. The Swiss company's solution seems to be the same as Tyre Leaders as both source their wheels from the same place. Its http://www.alcar.at
I wonder if VW source from them directly.

I’m here! I found my first contribution to one of the threads: https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/steel-wheels-full-time.13220/page-4

Follow that thread for my updates as things got a little confused, but I decided to keep the full winters, and fitted them two weeks ago.
