So this thread has gotten me interested in something to dress up my 15" SA
black steel wheels on Monty.   I see VanCafe has them, and someone on the
Samba has a set from a 2000 EuroVan that *look* identical.  Does anyone
know if the wheels on a EuroVan are the same as the SA 15" upgrade I have?
I bought the SA rims in 2008 from the shop that does (did?) the Tiico
conversions in California (?) (lost the emails when my old email account
was hacked, so I can't remember the details).

Thanks

Mark
