Everybody, keep in mind that Cory's talking about mounting a "Carat" V-gon
wheel, not a Audi turbo wheel. 
Also, I would imagine, if one was to purchase a set of used Vanagon "Carat"
style 5 spoke alloys, they would be smart enough to get the lug nuts and bolts
too, therefore your problem would be solved......

If you're mounting a Audi turbo wheel, then it IS PREFERABLE to use the Audi
turbo lug bolts on the front of the V-gon.
