In the past few months, I've noticed more sets of Vanagon 14" factory
alloys for sale on craigslist and eBay than usual.

My best guess is that folks are upgrading to new 15" or 16" alloys
thus selling their 14" factory alloys to defray the cost of their new
van shoes.

Is the economy improving? Or, is there a sale on spiffy Vanagon wheels
going on that I don't know about?
