Steel Wheels
I am trying to keep my van standard looking however I am thinking about fitting the disc conversion kits on offer by several companys, none of which can be used with the standard 14 inch wheels anyone know of 15 inch steel wheels that would fit?
Many Thanks
Ian

15" Merc Steel Wheels - much prefer the way they sit and the improved handling on these merc steels and I too like the standard look. Doesn't seem to have altered speed reading on speedo much.
Paint em black, forget trims and never worry about the odd scrape. Very difficult to tell difference between Merc ones and VW ones at a glance although Merc Doctor spotted em!
You could (in theory) fit VW hubcaps but the wheels lack the lugs needed to fit them to.
Oh and while I'm at it, has ANYONE got a Merc 15" wheel with ET25 (25 offset) - I'm in BAD need of a spare wheel. Only have four.

That may prove useful. It still says ET25 not recommended but they seem fine on mine and been on there two years - go figure....
