I have bought 3 sets of factory alloys in the last few months. The most
expensive set was $100, with good tires, the special nuts and bolts,
center caps. I'm sure it depends on location but in SoCal there seem to
be a lot of Vanagons getting 16" wheel upgrades and then they don't care
about the old wheels after they sit around a little while.
