Ok, so I know this is a dead horse, but I just had some advice that I wanted to 
validate:

Suppose I go out and purchase some fancy light weight wheels.  I'm looking at 
14x6 as I've heard those tend to be a good match for my 'lil 96hp engine.  I've 
also come to the conclusion that 195x60x14's are a good tire size....  And then 
today someone who I esteem as having good judgement tells me that actually, 
185x60x14's are better due to side-wall strength, etc etc,..  Gee, I look on 
Tirerack.com and see that the Yoko Intermediaries are only $42 each on the 
smaller tire...  So I'm game for the 185's...  What do you say group?  I want 
performance without pain.

(BTW, what is the weight difference from stock early 67 wheels and say.. 14x6 
panasports?)
