Subject:Looking for steel wheels, Vanagon 1985

Hi,

Winter is around, and I'm looking for  4 steel wheels in correct condition
to install the winter tires.

I live in Canada, Quebec to be precise.

I don't feel like removing the new MX4 Rainforce that are on the freshly
sandblasted and painted original wheels.  BTW Those tires (205 70-R14) with
their 2 ply sidewalls are just fantastic.  They've virtually eradicated the
side wind effect while beeing soft enough not to give that 5 ton truck
feeling to the Vanagon.  And yes their name is correct, you can cross puddle
of water with nearly no effet !  Those tire really pump the water out of the
treads.  Finally I have to say they are very quiet too.  Useless to say I'm
satisfied !

Thanks in advance for the answer about those steel wheels !
