[Tigers] Hemmings article

[Tom Witt]

Tigers have 4 X 4-1/4" bolt pattern. Early Corvairs have a 4-1/2" bolt 
pattern. Late Corvairs are 5 bolt. So, it wouldn't be a simple bolt on 
affair.

The comments did mention Cosmics which came on my Tiger. I have the 
mentioned American Racing Libre on my Datsun 510.

Certain steel factory wheels are getting pricey too. A nice set of Mopar 
Cop Car wheels with drilled hubcaps are in the $400 range. I have a set 
of those on my Valiant. SSP wheels and hubcaps from the Fox body Mustang 
police cars are in a similar price range. These fit the Tiger's 4 X 
4-1/4". Look alike wheels came on the more common late 80's T-Bird. I 
have a set of those for the Tiger too. I think Jere Teppen had them on 
his old Sunbeam. So many people had alloys on their Datsun Z cars that 
the factory steel Topy wheels were a disposable afterthought but are now 
pricey. I have three of those (and looking) for my Corvair station wagon.
