Larry and others,
Here is what I found available for inexpensive 14x6 alloys.
www.tires.com They have TSW Quads available for $50 ea. The customer
service was bad both times I called, I called back a second time hoping the
12 year old I spoke to the first time was just bad luck. I got his 13 year
old brother the second time. Neither could answer basic questions, and
didn't seem to really care if they sold me tires or not.
www.tirerack.com Much friendlier service. I explained to the salesman,
AJ, I think, exactly what I was doing. The wheels I wanted, "Mille Miglia
Fabula", $59 ea., were on back order so I ended up ordering a set of "Borbet
H" wheels, for $69 ea. I bought Firestone Firehawk SS20's (195x70), for $46
ea. They don't mount / balance tires so I'll have to have that done. They
do have a list of suggested "installers" in the local area. Total with
shipping $518, 2 to 3 day delivery time. Not too bad in my opinion.
For reference, I was using a 1990 Honda Accord Sedan as a reference in their
online wheel selector thing. They are coming 4x4.5, with a 38mm offset.
I'll let everyone know if and how they fit next week, after they are mounted,
balanced, and installed.
Hope this helps someone,
Glenn
