Wrong PCD. VW use 5 x 112mm (the circle that the stud centres sit upon)
ET (the offset) is too large too. At 7" wide you end up with ET20-25 on these vans before the tyre rubs on the top wishbone.

5 x 120 will fit a T5, and i've seen BMW alloys on those before (not sure if the exact ones you have).
Youcould resell to a T5 owner but generally they don't go for 15's (unless you find someone who prefers decent rubber over rubber bands on 22's - good luck

They also have to have the correct ET, centre hole has to be big enough for the grease cap...and you'll need longer studs
For your own sake make sure they are rated to carry 2.5 tonnes
