all 5 lug audi wheels are 5x112 bolt pattern, the same as the vanagon. to mount them you need to machine out the center hub hole to 2.5 ID and use the audi lug bolts up front, and porsche 911 studs in the rear, with your stock nuts.you also need to run a thin spacer up front. for syncro's, you dont have to do any of that, they bolt right on. chris for pics of audi 5000/200 turbo wheels on vanagons- check out : http://www.enter.net/~bloss/vw/turner/ and scroll down. i've done it before, and it works great. there are more tire choices with 15" wheels. and Helmut - the Ronals (mulitispoked ones on the Doublecab pic you posted) are forged, and are as strong as hell.. they DONT bend.. theyre stronger than the carat wheels. those ronal wheels are the same ones as used on the Ur-Quattro (turbo quattro coupe rally cars) and they beat the hell out of those cars during the rallys.. chris
