Jim 2 Posted April 28, 2014 Fascinating! Look forward to seeing the Nothelles on the car mate! :) And yet more cracking pictures by Dave as well.. he really is seriously handy with that camera. He's ended up becoming some kind of semi-official photographer for the Sprinter - always ends up with his photo's on the covers lately! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BILLCOR 1 Posted April 28, 2014 Looking awesome mate, the Nothelles will really put your mark on the car :shades: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C5 OEM 0 Posted April 28, 2014 Gonna look great, just found some 5x100 ones as well..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted April 28, 2014 5 x 100s do exist… What a complete marmite wheel, some people will no doubt hate them and others will just get it.. The rarity factor is just a bonus.. I appreciate the nice comments on the pictures but as stated it was Daves work, all i did was clean it while he worked his magic.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted April 28, 2014 I don't get the marmite thing about these at all! They're drool enducing (in a good way). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted April 29, 2014 They're cool in a retro kind of way! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted April 29, 2014 Only just realised the Nothelle wheels are made up of 3 letter n's Noob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted April 29, 2014 Not a fan to be honest but im sure ill change my mind when you get them on your car Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted April 29, 2014 So are the RC's and MO's staying as well? Seeling those pics I might put the RC's back on mine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted April 29, 2014 Perfect! So glad you found a set once plugged and re drilled they'll be the perfect fitment of the perfect period one piece wheel. I'd let both other sets go when you got these sorted and just stick with these ans a set of killer splits BBS E26 game over! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted April 29, 2014 They are very retro and i that is the appeal. Im just in the process of ironing out the creases with the postage so hopefully will be here next week.. Once drilled they will be getting powdered the same colour as the Comps / RCs so they are ever so slightly darker than the car.. The plan with the other wheels, at present i don't have one but being realistic i don't intend to start collecting. Im glad you approve Gareth, i know we had spoken about these a while ago and i think you are probably as excited as i am to see them on.. In reality VSR, the Nothelles plus a couple more bits and thats the minor changes made.. After that its back to refurbing bits that you can't even see...

Hofmiester 10 Posted April 30, 2014 Loving the new wheels mate! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted April 30, 2014 Plus some of the things you can see :) Can't wait to see these on matey. A truly excellent choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted May 2, 2014 Im pleased to be able to say the wheels will be saying goodbye to the US and starting their journey on Monday.. I can't wait to see them on the car although it'll take a little time to get them ready.. Spoke to the guy who has sold the wheels to me and turns out they were owned by a guy in Utah who had left them in a dark corner for over 10 years.. The seller sounds chuffed that they are making their way "home" to Europe.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted May 2, 2014 Ive only had a quote from G23, not ideal really as that means postage to and from but they do come recommended... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted May 2, 2014 Perhaps just re drill for 5x100 and retain 5/112 capability, not be seen under cap? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted May 2, 2014 Perhaps just re drill for 5x100 and retain 5/112 capability, not be seen under cap? That would be more cost effective however the back of the mounting surface is hollowed out in-between the bolt holes so can't be done without compromising strength. Also the securing bolt screws into that area and would probably lost.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
