Description
We have found a new supplier for the well know 5 and 8 spoke wheels. These wheel are closer to the original wheels made in the 60's. The current American eagle wheel made in the USA are a poorer quality mass produced wheel with very old tooling, making for a lower quality finished product. We import these wheels from Europe and they are newly tooled and machined to the highest quality. These wheels do cost a little more, but they are worth every penny. Unlike the USA wheels, we can offer these new wheels in the the 5x112mm Bus - Vanagon wheel pattern.

Special note: These wheels will fit your bus with a 165/15 (ACC-C10-6655) tire, or a 195/50/15 tire (ACC-C10-6723).Westfalia owners may require a 8 ply tire, if so check with your local tire dealer for a 15 inch 8 ply tire to handle the weight of your Westfalia. If you want to install a larger or wider tire on your bus you may require rear fender modifications. You may choose to machine the mounting pad (back of wheel) 1/8 to 1/4 inch maximum to allow these wheels to tuck in further on the back of your bus. Please be advised that CIP does NOT recommend this and CIP will take no responsibility or warrant the structural integrity of the wheel. We have sold 100's of these wheels over the past few years with great feedback from our loyal customers.
