To my knowledge, no Vanagons (transporters, etc.) were imported to North America with these wheels and even in Germany VW vans are rare with these 16" wheels. There were only two factory wheels supplied on Vanagons shipped to Canada & USA. These were 14" x 5.5" steel wheels and 14" x 6" alloy wheels. Regards, Jim Davis |
