Fellow Vanners,

I've got an unusual question. Because the price is so good right now, I want
to go ahead and but the 2wd South Africa brake kit on the group buy.
Unfortunately I don't have the 15" wheels yet. I will have to wait a bit to
get those but I'm gonna get the brakes now because the price is so good. I
know that I won't be able to install the brakes until I have bigger wheels.

So I got this idea for cheap bigger wheels. It is my understanding the late
model Passat and Audi A4 wheels will also fit. I was thinking that maybe I
could find a cheap set of steel wheels that someone has removed from their
car so that they could install aftermarket wheels. Being steel wheels I
figured I could buy a used set pretty darn cheap.

Now my questions:
1) The steel wheels should work, right?

2) Will I have to use different lug nuts to properly mount the steel wheels?

TIA,
Bruce
