Subject:      Vanagon Alloy Wheels

Hi Gang,

Do you know anyone or where I can buy 5 Vanagon Alloy wheels and what they cost. I think the factory alloys look real sharp and I would like to buy some for my van. I'm an unknown who drives an 87 Vanagon GL Wolfsburg Ed. I grew up in a VW loyal family, my dad had a 65 Bug, 71 Squareback, 71 411, and a 76 Rabbit. I have owned a 68 Bug, 78 Transporter, and a 92 Jetta GL. I love the way the flat fours rumble or chug, the motors are really cool. Porsche will put a flat 4 and flat 6 into thier new boxer. I guess I'm really hooked on VW Vans.

My first one was a 78 rust bucket that I used to drive to the beach to o surfing. I rebuilt the engine with a MOFOCO rebuild kit and it was a great cruiser. It broke down at inconvient times, but it was always easy to fix. I bought a Jetta against my better judgement (I should have bought a vanagon) :-). I don't know what it is about vw vans. I guess its a combination of nostalgia and utility, all that I know is that I'm happy being in another VW van.

Sincerely, Alan Loo
