YearOne is now selling the reproduced factory 15*8 WS6 wheel...I think this wheel looks really sharp...and price is decent ($179/wheel)...Yearone's 15*8 repro WS6 wheel uses 4 1/4" backspacing
I have always liked the look and fit of factory 15*8 WS6 with 255/60/15's (all around) on 2nd gen (70-81 birds). I have run 255/60/15's
- on a 78 TA with the factory 15*8 WS6 wheel, 255/60/15 Yokohama Avid (from Summit)
- on a 81 TA with the factory 15*8 WS6 wheel, 255/60/15 Comp TA
On both these cars the 255/60/15 had a nice fit and look with the factory 15*8 WS6 wheel. In the rear I have seen some guys run a 275/60/15's on the factory 15*8 WS6..though the fit can be tight. Sometimes the springs, tire used (plus other variables) can make a difference...on the fit. If getting a 15" aftermarket wheel, I would likely get the same backspacing specs as the factory wheel...
YearOne also sells a 17" wheel that is a copy of the WS6 wheel..that is an awesome looking wheel...$199/wheel...Yearone's 17" WS6 type wheel is 9" and uses 4 7/8" backspacing
The price of used factory WS6 wheels seems to have come down since these repro WS6 wheels came on the market..there is usually some used factory 78-81 WS6 wheels on ebay...
