Dear Rai..

Thanks, accurate response.
hmm yeah.. I was worried of U-joint.  My friend lives in the far place.
I can't actually attach AUDI-wheel to my westy.
I don't hope for the use of spacers. I will give up AUDI-wheels.
Thanks again,

BTW,.. Where do you live? EC? You have Great Van! :)
Is vanagon parts supplied steadily in your country?
