Vanagon Wheelmasters...
What are the advantages of going to 15" or 16" wheels, other than different
tire availability?  Does a larger wheel diameter without a significant
change in outside tire diameter make a difference in ride/handling,
performance, or anything else.   Is it worth the extra $$ to go to16" wheels
over 15"? (I'm sure that there are more used 15" wheels avaiable to fit).
Any specific tire recommendations for either size wheel?

Aside from Audi or Mercedes wheels, are there others that fit (I've heard
Jeep Wrangler--what is the offset of these?), perhaps any others?

Thanks..John
