From their website:
Custom wheel adapters, made from CNC machined USA-sourced 6061 T6 aluminum with Grade 10.9 hardware. These adapters allow you to use wheels with a different bolt pattern on your Vanagon or can be manufactured with the same 5×112 bolt pattern in both the hub and the wheel area. Adapters can be made in any thickness from 15mm on up. The adapters can be made hubcentric to any wheel as well.
Adapters come with new mounting hardware* to mount the adapters to the Vanagon. Hardware to bolt the wheels to the adapters is sold separately.
