<DIV></DIV>>I got the 15" Rhein wheels from South African VW's (that were pull-offs) via
<DIV></DIV>>MotorWorks last year. I also got the Michelin Agilis to go on them. Night and
<DIV></DIV>>day is not doing the modification justice. I almost had a heart attack when I
<DIV></DIV>>totaled it all up to be close to $1000 US, but the performance, safety and
<DIV></DIV>>looks are worth TWICE that amount. All this and more on a $750 Van from
<DIV></DIV>>Minneapolis.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Ken Vanagain has a bunch of the Rhein wheels, I think - and they are NEW, not
<DIV></DIV>>pull-offs like mine.

<DIV></DIV>>Anyone need to see a picture? From the VW SA site...
