Todd,

I'm afraid the Vanagon may be on it's own. Some Audi Quattro and A1/A2 VW
wheels can be made to fit by enlarging the bottom taper of the hole. But then
you'll be reducing the effectiveness of the splines to hold the wheel in. I
don't know if any other makes will fit. But as far as VW's are concerned and
not having to do any modifications, I can't think of one which can fit.

If you are a bit adventurous and want to take on modifying your steering
column to accept the Audi ans A2/A1 VW steering wheels, you can go to the
"how-to" section of my webpage for instructions from Yoshi on how to
accomplish this.
