David,

What are these steel wheels you are getting?

I'm not really into spending a bunch on alloys for my van, but rather I just
want plain vanilla steel 15" rims.  What alternatives are there?  Passat?
Audi?  Eurovan?  Benz?  ???  Anyone?  Bueller?

Somehow, I've always just been into the plain black steel rims, no hubcaps, and
chrome lugnuts.  Maybe it comes from my teenage obsession with a 440-6 pack Road
Runner with the black fiberglass hood!  ;-)
