Thought this might be of use to you? More for P5 owners I guess as these would chew your expensive rostyles up! I purchased these from Ravus and fitted to my van 2 years now. (Still look new) www.ravus.deOur international friends propably already know them? They are excellent quality and unlike those cheap flaps you slip under your rims that promptly rip tyres, these are TUV tested and clip to a Stainless rim that clips onto the wheel. This means you can buy normal tyres and transfer them over. There is a plastic liner between the tyre and the whitewall strip. All you have to do is cut any tyre moulding hairs you find on the wall before you fit. There are small clips that hold the whitewall to the stainless rim and you insert the loose runner between them. The only issue is the stainless rim has sharp teeth that grip the wheel rim. To stop any rust I apply fablon strips to the wheel rim first. I have these on all year round including winter. They will cost approx £100 for set, google translate the website or you can contact me (I am in touch with the guy who's company it is) Very well made, well packaged and turned up fairly quickly. You can now pay via paypal as well as the Direct Bank Transfer they love in Germany! Any questions please let me know. Regards Stan

VW' beetles use 15" wheels like P5's too as well so does the Transporter?

Transporter is 14inch but they do different sizes anyway. Tell them which car it is for and they send the right size for you. Volrink was prepared to manufacture 16inch rims on request - good guy.

My mate had rubber inserts on the P5B before he gave it to me. Shame he wasn't much good at parking!! I'm still pulling bits out of the rims!!!
