They do come up in 14" quite a lot,A guy over on brickyard ended up throwing a set away in the summer as no one was interested.
Peronally its got to be slotmags
Good luck

i struggled for ages trying to find a set of wheels that weren't kerbed or didn't have old tired tyres on them.
It's not so much the PCD you'll struggle finding, it's getting the centres big enough that they'll go over the spigot in the centre of the wheel(this is what your wheels locate on for alignment), you'll either have to stick with VW specific or get the middles machined out, or go for Merc Vito(Van) wheels as these fit the bill perfectly except you'll need a 5mm spacer for the fronts.
check your insurance too, as mine insisted that i had the correct "load rated" tyres on which meant a set of Audi TT alloys with car tyres on would not be upto the job and if they'd of checked it out i would not of been covered if the worst had happened
I found brand new 17" AMG replicas on Ebay for £400 with brand new 225/45/17 tyres on. Rolling diameter is the same so no need to worry about your speed being wrong.... not that you can break many speed limits in a bus
happy hunting

i think you can still get them new. what about a set of 16" syncro wheels, i recon they would look good with some chrome wheel nuts.

Peps...the two sets I got were advertised as from vw camper.
Bolted straight on. No spacers, no machining. ok...tyres sh!t...but only paid £40 for one set, £30 for the second set, and got the Beetle set for £2o or sommat rediculous,,,and that was with 3 decent tyres too. The fourth was flat...but was sorted at the tyre place for a tenner! I masked off the red an blue lines on the rim and painted them as well...so they look nice and fresh.
ps...if anyone just has a one off I could use a spare...

err! round!

seriosly though, have a look on the 4wd site here, a few years ago fluff and i went to a meet nr coventry, i saw a carvelle there with a pair of syncro wheels on the back. no caps, and a pair of standard wheels on the front. for me it was the best looking bus i had seen, and still is. it was owned by a guy who goes on brickyard called germman. i have since seen pics of it in mags and it now has some huge alloys on it

i loved it the way it was.
