Technical Concerns / 15" steel wheels
« on: February 27, 2007, 12:41:38 PM »
Hey all..... After chasing my tail for a year or so, I finally remembered a conversation regarding Stockton Wheel, who makes custom wheels for just about anything that rolls.
They can cut out the center of the original 14" steel Vanagon wheels and re-weld them into one of thier 15" rims. You pick the offset, color, rim width (!) etc. etc.
Nice thing about this is that you get to keep the original little "moon" style hubcaps, which do not fit on the majority of aftermarket steel wheels. ( which kind-of misses the point as far as I'M concerned) You send them the original wheels, It'll cost you about
$120 for each wheel. If you dont want to go through the shipping, they can usually find donor wheels there.....
Not cheap, but not too bad considering there's really no other options.
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers!
