Bruce--
As you have already seen you'll get a lot of different opinions--few of
them are "wrong", simply personal.
For me I think 72's look very busy, esp. on non-convertible cars. I have
had a set of 60 spoke chrome Daytons on my car for almost 20 years and
other than having them periodically trued as need be when changing tires
they have been trouble-free.
As to tires, esthetically I like them to be (relatively) tall and narrow
and the MICHELIN 180
R-15 not only fills that bill but also gives great handling in both wet
and dry.
Whatever you do, deal with reputable sources such as Hendrix Wire Wheel.
