I just talked to a Tire Rack representative trying to buy new tires for
my Syncro.  They didn't have the model tire that I wanted, so it is back
to the phones unless I change models.

But, they do have a Mercedes steel wheel, Tire Rack part # R11060,
15x6.5, that has a 5x112 bolt pattern, and a 37 offset.  The chart also
states CB 66.6, whatever that means?   I am sure someone on the list can
tell us.

Best part is that these wheels are only $40 apiece.  I priced some of
these wheels via a parts yard and they wanted $100 or more each.  Might
have been alloys - but I asked for steel.  Mark Drillock says these fit
right on to the Syncro. They might require a little machining for the
2WD Vanagon.  This would make migration to 15" wheels easy and not so
expensive for a Syncronaut.  Thought I would pass this along.
