Hi Dennis....
That is a good price.  Do you know if they make this same wheel in a 15 inch?
There is a very big price difference in tires for 15 inch vs. 16 inch so I'd rather have 15 inch wheels.
Thanks for bringing this product to our attention.

Follow the link to some pictures of the Ultra Wheel 402-6722+32S. This wheel is 16" X 7" with a 32mm offset which is perfect for both 2WD and 4WD Vanagon. The load rating is 1,800 pounds. These use cone shaped lugs and I recommend the smaller heads or spline lug nuts/bolts. For the 2WD the plastic hub cap needs to bored out to make room for the bearing cap. Bore out for the covers for the factory alloys as was done on this one.

Of all places these wheels are available from Amazon.

And here is a great tire option.

There is also a 17" version of this wheel. It is the correct offset but 8" wide. I have not tested enough to recommend them with confidence.

For a little more money you can also look at the AR95T's I have recommended in the past. They are direct fit for both 2WD and 4WD and are rated for 2,200 pounds. They are also available in 16" with 30 MM offset and 17" with a 25  MM Offset. I have used both of these with no issues.
