Here's some interesting facts about wheels.
Did you know that 16" factory steel wheels on a T6 LHD (German) Ocean will not fit on a UK RHD T6 T32 Highline that has factory 17" Devonport alloys. And the alloys from a UK RHD T6 T32 Highline are difficult to fit on a T6 LHD Ocean!
I can only assume that Californias always come with smaller callipers or no-one in their right mind would downgrade to 16" steels when they have 17" alloys on a Highline - except me!
Oh well, you live an learn.

- The UK van has bigger front callipers - the 16" steels will not fit over them. I found that out after changing the rears over and starting on the fronts (if only I had started on the front first)
- The hub flange (great word) centre on the LHD Ocean are either slightly bigger or have swolen into the steel wheel hole making the alloys a really tight fit on the wheel. A real bugger to get back off.
