Interesting if true. Mercedes wheels (14, 15, even 16" aftermarket wheels) are also said to have same bolt pattern, but the lug nuts have a smaller head and are shrouded in on most MB wheel designs so you have to solve that and the 2 wheels = studs, 2 wheels = bolts problem. I always look at the tire/wheel deals ads and dream. 4th gear on the Vanagon is very close to 4th gear on the 911, so there is definitely room for im- provement in revs per mile. B.
