Subject:15" Wheel Question
From:Bob Elliott
Date:Sun, 13 Apr 2003 18:18:01 -0700

I'd like to add a set of 5 BOLT 15 X 5 1/2 steel wheels to my '80 Westy
Vanagon but I can't seem to find the style I'm looking for. I'm looking for
the style of wheel that's on Porsche Speedsters and 356's. They have fewer
and larger vent hole around the outer diameter.  I've found a 4 bolt
pattern wheel in this style at California Imports
<http://store.cip1.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=cali&Category_Code=13-06>but
I'd rather stay away from having to use adaptors. I also found this style
at Mangels
<http://store.ineedparts.com/store/comersus_viewitem.asp?idProduct=7585>
but again it was a four bolt pattern. Anyone know where I can get this
style of wheel?

BTW My hesitation about using adaptors is whether or not they can take the
weight of the a fully loaded Westy.

thx
