Hi Ed, My son Tom, tboehler@nyx.net just ordered some like Gary Stearns tsw mb6. Tom said they know all about Gary's set up. He ordered them from http://www.discounttiredirect.com/. Tom ordered them with 215 x75 15 agilis tires. He is putting them on his 86 westy which has a subaru transplant. I will ask him to put some pictures up on our vw site after we get the mb6 wheels installed in a couple of weeks. http://www.loam.org/vw Gary had a post with attached picture of his wheels on 10-2. . Total price was $806. This included wheels, tires, balancing and shipping. This includes no lug nuts or bolts. We plan to get them at napa. Midwesty
