Copied these pictures from a car on eBay. Red one was for sale but showed owners car next to it. Love the look but stuck on which one I like the best.

Here's a nice wheel calculator, on line and free. It lets you play around with different wheel and tire sizes. The stock Corvair offset (ET) is 1 inch (25.4mm). 25 mm is probably close enough. I hope to have my Minilites on the car soon.

Thanks. That one plus three others are linked in the technical section thread about rim and tire calculators for future reference.

I stayed old school with a set of 14" ralley wheels off of a 67 Nova. I liked the chrome accents and big chrome center cap. It was hard to find the 14" tires but I found BF Goodrich TA radials in 205/60R14.
