[TR] Tire and Wheel Recommendation for 1961 TR3A

[cfmtr3a at verizon.net]

I personally like the look of the minilite style (bolt or knock-off) by K&N available from Moss & TRF (about $200 each for the bolt-on).   TRF (listed for TR6) no longer has the nuts for them - so Moss may be a better choice as they are available there.  Although I put the 165SR15 on them they can accommodate larger/lower profile tires.  You can't go too large as the front will rub on sharp turns.  195's probably as large as you can go.  I have no real knowledge of the tires currently available.

Victoria British may also have them.

I am ready to make my TR3A into a daily driver. To do this I need to purchase a new set of tires. Also I am considering purchasing after market wheels to give the car a new look. 
What recommendations and observations can you make? My budget is not unlimited but I can see spending around a $1,000 (likely more). One recommendation was to purchase a tire made by Yokahoma which has a retro look and profile. My mechanic could not give me a spec on the tire.... I do not want a tire that looks too large....

Leads on a supplier and tire sizing would be appreciated.
