There are at least two different OEM 14" steel wheels for Vanagons:


211 601 027 H
5.5Jx14H1 ET39


251 601 027
6Jx14H2 ET30


I have a set of five of the 6" ET30 wheels on my '87 Syncro.  ETKA
lists these wheels only for the Syncro, never for 2WD vans.  I don't
know whether the Syncros came with a full set of steel wheels like
this, or whether the steel wheel were sold only as a spare on vans
that came with alloy wheels.
