Like em a bit more solid

Hi there, I am new to this forum even though I have owned my Briquette burner for the last two years. I have been looking for wheels for my van as well & have been told by a number of tyre retailers that if I am to get new wheels, the tyres will have to be Load Rated, so normal passenger car tyres will not be sufficient, they may also be illegal which means they could affect your Insurance policy. So make sure if you get new wheels that the TYRES are load rated to protect yourself. Cheers.

I checvked with my insurance company and no issue as long as the van is not used as a bus, that is with 8 people on board. As it is just my partner and I we rarely have more than 4. I think max size for Load rated tyres you will find is 15 or 16 inch?

That's true. I do have an 8 seater & I do carry 8 people in it. My wheels are currently 15" but I have made enquiries & I can get 17 x 7.5's with 225/50 series tyres which are load rated for my car. They had a set of 18's there but I could not have the 45 series tyres.

I don't have 8 friends. My partner calls me Nigel Nomates!

LOL! I don't have 8 friends either, but between my partner & I we have 6 kids, so we definitely need an 8 seater! I am still going to try to take the people mover stigma away from the van by "personalising " it a bit.

Personally I think the name Super Custom is a bit naff so i have rebadged mine as a Lexbus! Causes a degree of confusion.
Rex

where did you get the badges werx?

Ebay. You can get Lexus badges easily and Lexbus I made up from chrome letters you can get on Ebay, think they come from India! you just order the letters you want.

cool thanks rex

Just so you know I changed the graphics on the side. I had a designer come up with 3 designs, I selected one, sent the pdf to a signwriter and they ran out the vinyl and stuck it over the existing. they advised not to take off the original as it would take ages. So the vynil strip is actually 2 pieces of vinyl, one a close match to the original colour the other the graphics in silver. just to let you know!!!

Maybe I'm slow, well probably I'm slow but who and what do you match up. Your site doesn't really say.. I like the graphics tho. Won't the flash one you have on your site work here ?

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE STICKERS, THIS SITE GIVES SOME IDEAS.

The van oroginally has a transfer from front to back with the super custom sign. It is difficult to remove this original transfer as it will be over 10 years old, will probably come off in little pieces, take time and cost money. So the best thing to do is cover it. To cover it you need one basic strip that masks out the original design and i chose to match the van colour then the design in silver over the top.
Ok?

Admin,
Those stickers will be on clear vinyl, so you would have to take your original sticker off
