So this thread has gotten me interested in something to dress up my 15" SA black steel wheels on Monty. I see VanCafe has them, and someone on the Samba has a set from a 2000 EuroVan that *look* identical. Does anyone know if the wheels on a EuroVan are the same as the SA 15" upgrade I have? I bought the SA rims in 2008 from the shop that does (did?) the Tiico conversions in California (?) (lost the emails when my old email account was hacked, so I can't remember the details).
