Hi John,

I was looking at putting some Mercedes wheels on my Vanagon. I bought
them for my Eurovan project. The offset on them (46mm) required
adapters to be safe. Sadly after much research it was going to cost
about $350 just for the adapter so I decided against it. I'd rather
spend the money on some proper fitting wheels.
