Buyer Beware. Just because the bolt pattern is the same does not mean it's a
direct fit. These appear to be Audi alloy wheels. Audi wheels have a
different offset and are hubcentric. You can certainly make them fit a
Vanagon the same way Audi rims are made to fit -- spacers, longer studs/bolts
and enlarging centerbore. Price those services and parts. Add that to the
price of the wheels. If you can live with the total cost and like the look,
go for it. Otherwise it may NOT be the bargain that it appears.
