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.

They look good on my 84 Westy.

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.
