I, too, found the Vanagon adaptors listed in the H&R catalog. Actually
getting those adaptors was another matter. All the vendors I tried turn up
empty. Seems that H&R didn't have any in the country and probably wasn't
going to be bringing any in. Let's fact it, there is a pretty small market
for people wanting to put Porsche wheels on Vanagons. That is why I took
matters into my own hands and manufactured my own adaptors.
For more information, please feel free to contact me.
Cheers,
Bruce
