Other than aesthetics, what function do alloy wheels add to a Vanagon ?
Less unsprung weight. Makes for better handling and a sliughtly more
comfortable ride -- for size for size switch.

The benefots are different when you go up a size or two. Frinztanz... go to
15" alloys and you may be negating the weight savings. But then you will find
more tires with the proper load rating for far less money.
