I carry the 16" steel wheels (for tha Vanagon) in stock - they are 16x5.5"
and have an offset of 35mm.  The Eurovan ones are either 45 or 52mm - forget
exactly what they are at this moment... anyhow they would be incorrect for
the Vanagon.

Subject: 16" steel wheels?

Yesterday my wife (who loves to prepare gourmet meals in our westy when
we're in the boonies) and I went to the annual RV show in Minneapolis.
It breaks the monotony of winter and once in a while you see some new
interesting "small" future alternative to the westy like a diesel
sportsmobile! Anyway in addition to seeing a new 16' Airstream and the
first (to me) iteration of the Mercedes Sprinter via Freightliner 5
cylinder manual camper rated at 22 mpg, I say a new eurobago with very
nice steel wheels painted silver with neat little hub caps. I didn't
think to get down and check the tire size but they may have very well
been 16" steel wheels. So...I was wondering if anyone knows and in
particular whether these would have the same offset as the vanagon and
bolt pattern? I'm really looking for 15" steel wheels for my westy but
the ones on Tiico's site are a bit pricey for steel!

TIA
