Hi Matt,

  In case you haven't, I recommend that you have those wheels checked
for runout & out-of-round before you spend a bundle on the conversion. 
I recently found out that my spare wheel causes a severe vibration at
speeds over 40 mph.  The cause is runout. It can't be seen by looking at
it off the car.  The wheel has to be installed and spun in order to see
it.  I went thru a PILE of used wheels before I found a good
replacement.

  FWIW,

  CR
