VW made 16" wheels for our Vanagons.  I have them for sale at
http://www.fastforward.ca - this fall I will also be stocking some 16 x 6.0
ET 30 900kg load rating steel wheels as well - these are Eurovan wheels that
the manufacture is making a run for me with a custom offset.  I will also be
getting some 15 x 6.0 ET 30 steels again with 900kg load rating in stock in
about 4 weeks time.

  After looking at our bus, we're just not comfortable with gaudy looking
wheels, but are still compelled to get the handling characteristics from 16"
rims. There must be a way!

  Does anybody know what rims we could use off of other cars that are 16"
without adapters and messing around too much? Like off a Passat, or an audi,
or something?
