Hi
I've bought a couple of sets from these folk:
http://www.alloywheels.com/ They have been more than helpful, and will suggest which models are correctly rated for weight. From memory, you want 590 (Kg) weight rating stamped on the wheels. Quite a few aftermarket wheels are higher rating than a few years back, as they can then supply a wheel which fits a wider range of vehicles. They all tend to come with a larger centre bore and the company supply spigot rings for your vehicle. I have 2 sets of alloys for summer and winter tyres for the Bongo...one in anthracite and the other anthracite and polished alloy. I run 2 sets for the Jeep, one with all season tyres, and the other winter tyres, but, frankly, the all seasons are pretty good in anything. I don't buy second hand alloys because you will never know if there is an inherent crack inside, because even a slight sideways shunt can damage an alloy, or hitting a pothole, and alloys are not good in a side shunt. I did enquire about getting custom wheels turned by a specialist, and they are VERY highly weight rated for van use, and the price was around £1000.00 and rather tempting, but that was polished alloy solid centres
Cheers
