The problem with eBay wheels is they are nearly all for sale by dealers for $150-$200 each. And the shipping costs are the killer.I prefer the look of the 65382 Mercedes wheel. It's also 16x7 and ET31.Who did you get to drill out the lug holes?Is that costly? Your link to the photo of your van did not work. -David On Tuesday, December 31, 2019, 4:06:21 PM MST, Jack R <jack007@comcast.net> wrote: I paid $400 for 16" Benz wheels with 31 Off-Set, had to drill out to 14MM. Found a great set on E-Bay. These are OEM Benz, much stronger than the Made in China rims. Here's the rim, currently available, so if you keep looking for it on Ebay, you may find a deal on a set. https://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Reman-16x7-Alloy-Wheel-Rim-Bright-Sparkle-Silve r-Full-Face-Painted-65440/303408174143?epid=752178771&hash=item46a489543f:g: hLYAAOSwkedeCeBj They look good on my 84 Westy. https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipN_82RX9-LbSGNZE5EVtTTzQmKz25JnLZyec9K6 -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Dennis Haynes Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2019 12:27 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Wheel suggestion. This is a wheel I have fitted on a number of Vanagons. The 32mm offset is near perfect, direct fit on Syncros. On the 2WD it may hit the upper ball joint requiring a 3mm spacer. This is due to the 8 inch width. It is rated for 1,850 pounds. I'm running these on Fun Bus. If using the GoWesty HD drums the thickness of those will space the rears out to match the 3mm spacers in front. With spacers you should use longer studs/bolts. Dennis
