I think a set of black rims with chrome
caps and outer rings would look nice on a white Van!

Me likey.
I thought about it too a while back when first introduced, but perceived different pattern shut that down.
Now I know better . . .

Specs please!
What spacers did you use?
What size tires?
Did you open the center bore?
How did you mount?
I am guessing you used R12 radius ball lug fasteners?
That van is a clone of mine. I am tempted to put white wheels on mine now actually. Looking good,
How do these roll for you?

I REALLY like how those look, I have the "original" 14 version...
If you dont mind me asking how did you come across a set of the new rims?
I saw a new beetle parked next to the vanagon a few weeks ago and thought that if there was a way these would look great. Now you proved it!!
