All you need to get rolling
When customising a campervan, most people think about interiors, storage, and sleeping arrangements, but one of the most important upgrades often goes unnoticed alloy wheels.
Upgrading your campervan’s wheels doesn’t just improve its aesthetic appeal; it enhances performance, handling, and durability. At Spartan Campers, we fit 20-inch Tux Velocity alloy wheels as part of our commitment to style, quality, and performance.
Here’s why alloy wheels are a must-have for any campervan owner looking to improve their van’s look, ride, and longevity.
1. Improved Handling and Performance
Standard steel wheels are functional, but they can be heavy and less responsive, impacting the way your campervan drives. Alloy wheels are significantly lighter, which helps:
- Improve acceleration and braking performance
- Reduce strain on suspension components
- Offer a more responsive and enjoyable driving experience
With lighter wheels, your campervan feels smoother and more controlled, especially when navigating winding country roads or long motorway journeys.
2. Enhanced Fuel Efficiency
A lighter campervan isn’t just easier to drive—it’s more fuel-efficient too. Reducing unsprung weight with alloy wheels means the engine doesn’t have to work as hard to move the van, leading to:
- Better miles per gallon (MPG)
- Lower overall fuel costs
- A reduced carbon footprint
Over time, these savings can add up significantly, making alloys a smart investment.
3. Stylish and Modern Appearance
There’s no denying that alloy wheels completely transform the look of a campervan. Tux Velocity 20-inch alloys give Spartan Campers a sleek, aggressive stance, making them stand out whether you’re at a campsite or parked at a show.
- Larger wheels give a premium, high-end look
- Multiple finishes and styles allow for personalisation
- A more rugged, off-road-ready stance
If you want your campervan to have head-turning style, upgrading to 20-inch alloys is the way to go.
4. Increased Durability and Strength
Steel wheels are known for their toughness, but they are prone to rust and corrosion over time. Alloy wheels are designed to withstand the elements, offering:
- Better resistance to rust and corrosion
- Stronger materials that withstand rough terrain
- A longer lifespan compared to standard steel wheels
This makes them ideal for adventurous travellers who take their campervans across varied landscapes, from coastal roads to mountainous terrain.
5. Better Heat Dissipation for Safer Braking
Braking performance is crucial in a campervan, especially when fully loaded with gear. Alloy wheels dissipate heat more effectively than steel wheels, which helps:
- Prevent brake fade on long journeys
- Improve overall braking performance
- Increase safety when driving downhill or towing
For campervan owners who spend a lot of time on the road, this is a major benefit in terms of both performance and safety.
6. Compatibility with High-Performance Tyres
With 20-inch alloy wheels, you have access to better-quality tyres that can improve your campervan’s:
- Grip and traction, especially in wet or off-road conditions
- Ride comfort, reducing vibrations and road noise
- Overall road handling, for a safer, more confident driving experience
Pairing Tux Velocity alloys with premium tyres ensures your campervan is ready for any adventure, no matter the terrain.
7. Adds Value to Your Campervan
A set of high-quality alloy wheels increases the resale value of your campervan. Potential buyers see alloys as a premium upgrade, making the van:
- More desirable
- More visually appealing
- More valuable on the second-hand market
If you ever decide to sell your camper, upgraded wheels can be a major selling point.
