Hi,

I have a set of 4 take-offs FS, 6x15, ET45, 5 bolt 112mm circle, ie. they fit vanagons BUT the centre of the rim must be machined out to about 2" to clear axle stubs. $200US/set or best offer, plus UPS shipping (est $40-50). They can use the stock lugs/nuts, but you will be short about 1/8"-1/4" due to smaller head diameter. FLAPS can likely help you cheapest. I've used identical rims on my Syncro for 6 months with 235/75/15 mudders on, so they will stand up to the loads. 205/60/15 gives almost stock rolling diameter and looks great!!

Also have 4 wheel covers for same, nice big 5" diam VW logo in centre, silver metallic, flexible. They'll fit fine up front, but the axle nuts are 1/4" too tall to let them fit on rear. $100/set or best. They looked great on my van. You _could_ cut out the VW logo to clear the stubs.....

bye, Tim
