you can use the steel wheels off any '71-'91 vw van. you can also mount steel wheels with alloy lug bolts/nuts. but you cant mount alloy wheels with steel wheel lug bolt/nuts. if you want a 15" steel wheel, you can use Mercedes steel wheels. They're 15". I'm surprised more people with Syncros aren't running 15" steel Mercedes wheels. You can usually get them pretty cheap used. chris |
