Ideally a 8" rim would be my choice but Wheel Vintiques appears to have no interest in making them although they appear in their catalog. However my 7" wide wheels are now 5 weeks over due and no longer have a estimated delivery date. I didn't want 15" wheels since almost every tire I find has only a S or T speed rating. There are many tires available for 16" wheels with Z or W speed rating. As to fitting a 255/50/16 on the 7" wide rim, every tire that I looked at stated wheels with a 7-9" range. One of my thoughts was to use 245/50/16's front and rear. My brake/suspension upgrade is now in limbo since discs are not going to work with the 14" wheels that are now on the car. I want a Ralley II type of wheel and not an aftermarket wheel. The 17" Wheel Vintiques Ralley II wheels doesn't really look like a Pontiac wheel and a set of them would be more than $2000. It looks like I'm SOL on the wheels at the moment.
