They are using adaptors. The VW uses 5x112 PCD. Mercedes wheels will fit; those with 12mm studholes will need opening up and reseating to fit the 14mm VW studs.

S-Class wheels should be plenty strong for a loaded van. I have a set of 16" CLK wheels I will quite likely be using. -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut
