Correct me if I`m wrong, but I think the T6 have a different PCD which is 5 x 120. You need 5 x 112 for a Caddy.

They don't look bad at all for winter wheels. Will you be getting winter tyres on them or just all season tyres? I once asked a local tyre fitting company about winter tyres and the guy said there is not much point in England as the temperature does not drop below 7 degrees enough to warrant the cost of the tyres. He said winter tyres only perform better than all season tyres at temperatures below 7 degrees and also in snow because of the tyre composite material. But above 7 degrees he said the winter tyres will wear out a lot quicker. This info is just what I got told by a tyre fitter so I don't know how true this is.

If that’s the advice given by a guy who makes a living from fitting/selling tyres........ then it’s good with me. How many times have we heard stories of people giving advice about different things - only for the advice giver to get financial gain? Get it all the time in the pub/catering trade.

Spent the day at Vanstyle, let them use it to develop car shades for a Maxi Life, drove away with them fitted, look great and help with privacy in the back. Should help keep it cooler inside next summer.

I got one of these from Vanstyle, they fitted it while I was there. I think it looks good with the wind deflector on the bonnet.
