15's are generally always better on a vanagon compared to 14's. the main reason to use 14 inch alloys is that they are a better wider 14 inch wheel over the stock steel 14 incher. I like how they look and fit too. And easy to clean brake dust off of also. Center caps for them are a bit rare. On 4/30/2012 5:20 PM, Stuart MacMillan wrote: > Thanks Loren.
