I am trying to decide which wheels to put on the 1967 TR-4A (IRS)
I am resurrecting.  It currently has some tired old 60 spoke
painted wheels.  I am considering options ranging from...

1 Clean 'em, paint 'em myself (probably not)
2 Send the wheels to British Wire Wheel for overhaul
3 Purchase new painted wires (same size=15x4.5?)
4 Purchase wider painted wires (TR-6 size=15x5.5)
5 Purchase new aluminum wheels (probably too expensive for me).

(Tire recommendations welcome also.)

I'm currently favoring option 4.

My question is this:  Will TR-6 wire wheels (15x5.5) fit
this car without any problems.  Would like to hear from 
someone who has gone this route.

Alternatively, (option 4a) any good used TR-6 wires out there 
for sale?

Thanks,
Ray
