How much would they be? $75 each? Close?  Any ideas?

Do Eurovan wheels work on 2WD Vanagons?  I know they work on Syncros.

  I have been talking to a supplier of mine who imports alot of other
Mangels rims for Jettas, Audis, etc. to see if they would be willing to
import some for the Vanagon/Bus.  They said that they spoke to the Mangels
rep and the minimum order for these rims would be 200 rims which my supplier
couldn't handle.  They didn't feel that they could move that many rims for
the Vanagon and I would agree.  This is a large investment in not only
money, also shipping costs, and warehouse space.  I have had 40 rims here at
one time before and with all of our other parts it was tight.  Even with
stacking 200 rims would fill a good sized room.  Just FYI.  If we could get
three or four parts vendors together and split up the order that might be an
idea, or if I could get 50 people to place an order for these rims with
shipping and credit card info, I am sure that might convince the distributor
that they would be worth bringing in.  Just sharing my thoughts.  Usually at
this stage alot of people chime in that they would be interested in buying
something, and then when you actually get the item they either don't have
any money, or they have changed their mind, etc.  That is why I would want
credit card info and shipping info before we went any further.  Just
thinking out loud.  Not committing to any list purchase or anything.
