Subject:Re: 15" wheels - 16" Wheels Now Available!!!

Not to discourage folks from buying these wheels (these appear to be
Ronal wheels). Ronal shows 215/55R16 tires on Vanagons with their 16"
wheels. I could not find a single tire with sufficient load ratings for
Vanagons in that size tire. Just a cautionary tale...

Also Derek Drew wrote up a very good article on 16 wheels and the load
capacity of the WHEEL. I didn't see any info on Ronal's site about the
strength of these wheels.
