Dear Matthew Pollard,

If your Vanagon already has some South African alloy 15 inch wheels, try the
original supplier for some South African 15 inch steel Vanagon (T3 Volksiebus)
wheels.  Alternatively, try <http://www.volkspares.co.za>.  You will find your
US dollar has tremendous purchasing power when you buy something in South
Africa.

Regards,
