I carry the 16" steel wheels (for tha Vanagon) in stock - they are 16x5.5" and have an offset of 35mm. The Eurovan ones are either 45 or 52mm - forget exactly what they are at this moment... anyhow they would be incorrect for the Vanagon.

Yesterday my wife (who loves to prepare gourmet meals in our westy when we're in the boonies) and I went to the annual RV show in Minneapolis. It breaks the monotony of winter and once in a while you see some new interesting "small" future alternative to the westy like a diesel sportsmobile! Anyway in addition to seeing a new 16' Airstream and the first (to me) iteration of the Mercedes Sprinter via Freightliner 5 cylinder manual camper rated at 22 mpg, I say a new eurobago with very nice steel wheels painted silver with neat little hub caps. I didn't think to get down and check the tire size but they may have very well been 16" steel wheels. So...I was wondering if anyone knows and in particular whether these would have the same offset as the vanagon and bolt pattern? I'm really looking for 15" steel wheels for my westy but the ones on Tiico's site are a bit pricey for steel!

TIA Bob 84 westy
