Volks,

I was at the VW dealer this weekend asking about some Audi A8 16" wheels.
Looking at the fiche and a paper catolog the 441 601 025N Z7P wheels have a
35mm offset and are 7" wide - the factory 16" wheels on my Syncro are 35mm
offset and 5.5" wide.  Looks like an almost perfect fit to me!  Canadian VW
Dealer pricing on these wheels is $183.76 each (~$125 USD).  Which doesn't
seem to bad for a wheel like this.  So, one question I have for the people
who have installed Audi wheels on their Vanagon - was it as simple as
machining out the hub to the same dimentions as a Vanagon wheel?  Same
bolts / nuts?  I am looking into machining pricing this week.  If anyone is
interested in some of these wheels let me know.  I can get them out
somewhere around the $160 CAD ($110 USD) per wheel price if people are
interested.
