The Ronal wheels came with the van... I don't particularly like the way they look, one is very dented (my fault), and the tires on them are wearing out. So instead of getting the bent wheel repaired, and mounting new tires, I'm thinking of replacement wheels and new tires- and I'm not limiting myself to 14" wheels. Thanks to your reply ( and experience) I've a much better understanding of the numbering/sizing of wheels, and what's needed to fit them on a van. Now I can sift through the wreckers etc with a bit more confidence. Bill M
