Mate, there's loads.
Get a copy of a boy racer mag and have a llok in the back, there are hundres of alloy places and most will do wheels for the vclass/vito
Also, try halfords, they have some brilliant deals on at the mo.......
and
check out the thread headed pimping by sarge, has loads of pics to give you some ideas
On the alloy front, from my experience with a 115, be sure to check the maximum loaded weight of your van against the carrying capacity of the wheels - for instance C class wheels will fit PCD wise BUT have been known to crack when fitted to 115's obver here, the C class is much lighter than a loaded Vito.
The next issue to check is bolt diameter, I had some issues with the first few sets I ordered came with M12 bolt holes instead of M14, then finally, the inner spigit diameter on the aftermarket (non MB) wheels is larger than the McCoy benz wheels, this is easily fixed by adding spigot rings - after 30 000km's the plastic spigot rings on my front wheels pushed into the inside of the wheel so the next charlie who removed and refitted the wheels did not notice that it needed spigot rings and just refitted them - OFF CENTRE!!. Leads to some hectic vibes from the steering wheel and pretty f@cked up tyre wear...the moral of teh story......proceed yes, but with due care.
If I were you I'd keep away from any 'replica' wheels because of weight issues etc. I have a set of 17" O.Z's on mine and I have not had any problems at all. Forgive me for being presumptuous but if you do live in Wales I would contact Demon Tweeks, I bought my wheels there and found them to be very knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
Hope this helps.

Limo tints look the bomb, dude - you'll be chuffed for sure.
As for alloys, Benz Bling is on the money - don't get cheap ones unless you like your rim parting company from the spokes. It does happen and I doubt it's fun.
I went for OZ Racing as they can give a guaranteed axle load figure. Check out your curb and gross vehicle weights and decide what load you are going to carry and if you are comfortable with the alloys you are looking at.
But don't get too paranoid - the figures I found show that a Vito is only 300kg heavier than an A class! Imagine an A class with 5 big guys in and the gap closes a lot....
It's when you put 1000kg in the back of the Vito you need to worry (or 8 passengers in a V class) about your wheel strength. If you only carry a couple of hundred kilo then any quality branded, preferably forged instead of cast, rim should do the trick.
I'm on 17" by 7.5 with 225/55/17 tyres. Also check the tyre load rating.
