NO CHOPPER, they are in general not load rated for a Van
As I wrote on another thread, throw at us your specific max axle load as stated on the van & I recon we could source a few !! options for U
That are legal btw

I just had that issue with a trailer so there is one way of doing it

Lightbulb Re: wheels for my t4 camper

1380kg equals to LI 95.
However VW seem to fit 98 through 102.

What rim size are U looking for? From an Audi U will be looking at 17" through 19" from a A8 or Q5.
Possibly a Pheaton could also suit as a donor
