Default anyone customizing their B series?

I would like to see what everyone is doing to spice their B series up. I'm wanting to get some nice classic wheels on mine.
I'll try to post some now... computer is running real hot, though.
We like our B series vans, so lets flont 'em!

alright, it's been photoshoped - but I just got the decals up, back and both sides... looks good. But these are types of wheels and tires I'd like to go with... I'll probably go with a 245/60r16. that might be affordable; someday.

well, I didnt think that anyone was doing it. I don't know about anyone else, but I like dodge ramvan lines and features. I bet this will give me more looks, when I throw my wheels on. I just tinted the windows, legal shaded - really helps in the wretched desert heat.
I still would like to see if anyone is doing anything to help the stock appearance.

I am customizing the interior of my van. I do Mobile Auto Repair and also work at a fire extinguisher servicing company. I have three seats in mine, 7 inch monitor back up camera, 2 extra speakers for the custom cassette player radio, map light with dual white and single red LED's. Emergency Starter Override, Switchable IAT mod, HD cooling with radiator and fan clutch, 136 amp alternator conversion.

Not doing much to the outside. Do have tinted pop out side barn door windows (plan on tinting the rest of the windows as well) and custom adjusted exhaust tip (sits closer to the van body instead of hanging out in mid air). Have to do some touch up paint to the van and paint the black molding strips to the side barn doors.

wheels and tires seem to be difficult to find - is cragar the only wheel company making aftermarket wheels for these? Gosh dang, I guess it's cause of the center cut out for the hub size.
Anyone know what that measures out to be? I need a caliper gauge so I can measure, atleast my spare wheel.
Since my buddy has a aftermarket customs shop, I wonder, if I'm unable to find something that's fab'd for my application, if I could technically get that machined to fit. Like I said before, here or elsewhere, I've tried custom and stock ram wheels from a couple of different years, and the lug pattern fits, just the hub seats were too small.
I don't know why they felt they needed to make a different size exposed hub. makes me want to see if I could change out my rotters... anyone know if a rams rotors would fit? I know I'd be able to find multiple deals on wheels in that case.
Leads me to one last question - my stock steel 15x6 wheels, anyone know what offset they are?
