VW T3 Rims - Alloy rims and Sizes at a glance

The VW T3 - cult transporter with retro charm

The VW T3 is the third generation of the legendary Volkswagen Van and was produced from 1979 to 1992. Today, it is considered a cult vehicle that is used both as a reliable Van and as a popular Motorhome or leisure vehicle. The T3 stands out from its successors thanks to its angular design and robust rear engine drive. Choosing the right Rims helps to individualise and optimise the driving experience.

Original VW Rims for the T3

Volkswagen offered both Steel rims and light alloy rims for the T3, which were designed for the special requirements of the vehicle. The classic 14-inch Steel rims, which were fitted as standard, are particularly well-known. Later, 15-inch alloy rims were also added, giving the vehicle a slightly more modern look.

Alloy rims from renowned manufacturers for the T3

In addition to the original VW rims, there are numerous high-quality Alloy rims from renowned manufacturers that give the VW T3 an individual look and improved performance. These Rims are made of lighter materials, improve road holding and give the vehicle a special look - whether classic or sporty.

Popular manufacturers for T3 Rims:

OZ Racing - Lightweight and stylish Alloy rims with a high quality finish
Borbet - Robust designs for a timeless retro look
Rial - Classic and modern Alloy rims suitable for the T3
AEZ - Elegant and high-quality Rims for a striking look

Common Rim sizes and offsets for the T3

Choosing the right Rim size is crucial for the appearance and driving characteristics of the VW T3. Common Inch sizes are:

14 inch - Original size for a classic look and high driving comfort
15 Inch - Slightly more modern look with improved road holding
16 inch - Sportier look with better grip
17 Inch - For a particularly striking appearance

The offset (ET) varies depending on the Rim width and model. Typical values for the VW T3 range between ET 23 and ET 35, with a lower ET bringing the Rims further outwards and a higher ET bringing them closer to the vehicle.
