I've been running them for almost a year.  No regrets at all.  The wheels
are made by TSW.  TSW is a large wheel manufacturer located in South Africa
(the same place that still builds Vanagons!).  The model that I have is
called the MB6 and is a duplicate of the 5 hole alloys on big Mercedes'.
Got them from Discount Tire Direct .  The fit is perfect. The quality is
first rate.  As with many aftermarket wheels on the Vanagon, the only change
needed is to remove the retaining screws from the rear brake drums.

> I'm noodling around ideas for wheels and tires for my bus, and I was
wondering who out there is using 15x7 wheels.  I'm particularly interested
in knowing what offset you're using, any clearance issues, spacers, etc.
Most of the choices I like aren't available any narrower than 7", and I
wondered if anyone out there was using this size.
