OK, so  now I've decided that I'm not going to fool with 13" tires anymore 
on this car  that I drive regularly.  Does anyone on the list have a set of 
15" x 7"  Camaro rally wheels with caps and trim rings they want to sell?  
Email me  off-list with what you have and price.  I think 15s are the best 
bet  because they are still pretty plentiful.  I might even go to 16s.   I'm 
just beginning to check out my options.

Thanks!

Take  care.

Paul - If buying used (especially if GM wheels) the rally wheels are priced 
 higher than they should be, because of demand from Camaro/Chevelle/Nova  
owners. The trim rings are problematic as well, because good ones - I.e.  
Stainless steel - are expensive, Chrome ones are prone to rusting since  they 
are "price-sensitive" (cheaply) made. ANd both kinds are curb fragile. If  
you want to use Camaro 15 x 7 wheels, I suggest the 82-90 aluminum alloy 
wheels  used on tons of Camaros. Those are "Mini-Ad" common, are hub-centric on 
the  Corvair, have the correct offset They can be detailed-out with  painted 
spoke portions and even have different center caps available.  Perhaps the 
only problem is that they are already commonly used on Corvairs, so  you 
might see your car coming at you! As far as tires, the 205/60-15 can be a  
little big for the front of a Corvair. If you look around, you can find a  
205/55-15 tire which is a great fit all around on the Vair.
