I have found a set of 15" Audi 200T (I assume this is the car sold as 5000 in USA) alloy wheels at a wrecker, going for $400NZ for four...that's $168US. I am told these are very rare, as these cars normally have 14" wheels. i don't know if they are factory or aftermarket (if the latter, who knows what offset they are). If factory, WILL THEY FIT the Vanagon? The stud pattern is the same, studholes the same size, centers need machining out a bit? Offset correct, or do they need spacing? I cannot access the archives. If aftermarket, what markings do I need to look for on them?
