We're talking   Vanagons here, aren't we?  These are boxy utility or
camper  vans.  Essentially these are not built to  be cool-looking.
Sticking some fancy wheels on em won't make em "sexy" ...Now I know
vehicles are configured according to their owner's personal tastes so if
you want to try to turn your vanagon into "Bigfoot", or pretend your GL is
a Porsche, go for it...but in the end, we have big square heavy
underpowered VANS.....   "Lipstick on a pig?".....and no, I don't think my
Vanagon is a Pig...the point is... dress it up however... It's still a
Vanagon.

I guess I shoulda said "It looks good enough for me"...and I often get
compliments....so those cheesy cheap wheel covers must be OK.... and I've
got an almost endless supply of free wheels that fit without spacers or
spare tire fit issues.
