Thread: Tuffant Kimberley 18" wheels feedback?

The Tuffant 18" alloy Kimberley wheels have been around for a while now. How are they performing? Any known cracking or other issues??

It looks like they may now only be available in ET29 offset? I presume these are technically legal on a D4??

Thanks

I put the Simpson model on my D4 without any issue, however that doesn't really answer your question I suppose. Quality of the wheels are top shelf.

We had a puncture up on the Gibb, and from the effort put in by two strong men using a long metal bar, I can confidently say the rim holds the tyre on pretty tightly. No idea if close to the OEM 18", but can't be far off I would think?

I’ve changed from Simpsons to Kimberleys and the Kimberleys haven’t seen any real abuse yet. But the Simpsons did and handled it all without fault. The change was mainly aesthetics, I just think the Kimberley’s look sensational. Plus the higher load rating (1500!) is a comfort when towing, we’ve upgraded to an Alpine15 that’s 2.5t when fully loaded. And I like the slightly wider stance offered by the 29 offset

Hi mate.
Thanks for the feedback.
Have you got any photos of your D4 with the ET29 wheels on it?
