Subject:FS: Passat steel rims 15x6

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
