Won't the South African steel 15's bolt right on ?
If vanagon 14 inch wheel will fit your van, so would these.

I think all the black SA 15 steelies that Van Cafe was selling might be
gone..
but I saw a sample of a new  silver- painted 15 inch steel
wheel.........that takes a normal ball face lug nut or bolt btw..
that should be availble one of these days, if not currently.
