Best to go with the ones offered by Go Westy, I have a set of Bens wheels
which were given to me... the bolt pattern was perfect, but it would take
big bucks in spacers and lug conversions to make them work.
Now I have 4 Bens wheels sitting in my attic.

Still running my 14" original rims with 185/R14 Load D summer tires.

When the tires go, I'm going to go with the Go Westy package.

BTW, still trying to sell my Bens wheels.

Hey all,

I know there are a few mile long posts on the samba about this, but I always
end up feeling like I'm drowning in information over there.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a 15" wheel conversion that requires the
most minimal of modifications?  I found 2 sets locally for $250 that I'm
thinking about getting but I'm not 100% sure if they'll fit or if I'll have
to go get spacers/long lugs etc. They came of of a '95 E320 and a '95 C280.
The look just like the ones Gowesty sells.  I'm going to go back out and get
the wheels measurements off of them on Monday.

If I had the budget I'd just buy the gowesty kit and I'm trying to figure
out if I'll end up spending close to the same after buying all the necessary
accoutrements.

I'm not married to this style and I'm more concerned about handling and
performance than looks.

Thanks in advance.

Michael.
