There aren't any Audi 14" alloys that fit Vanagons or Syncros. There are some Audi 15" alloys that can be machined to fit. The offset works on Syncros but with a 2wd spacers are required. You can find early 80s Mercedes 14" alloys that will work with less machining than the 15" Audi alloys. There are also some much rarer Mercedes 15" wheels that need less machining. The most commonly available 190E 15" wheels are a poor fit so forget them. The 420SEL and 500SEL wheels are a decent fit with modifications of the lug holes. The C220/230/280 wheels are pretty well suited for Syncros and better looking but again the lug holes need modifications. To repeat myself, ALL Mercedes and Audi wheels that I know of need some modifications in order to work. Mark
