Hi Danny,
I think the 13" wheels look better, as they look more classic than the 14", which seem too big to me - but then, I never liked low profile tyres. Mine are 13X5 1/2 inch, although 13 X 4 1/2 might be better, as my wheels have a bit too much offset, which poses problems with wheel clearance and geometry at the front. Have a look at MWS, which supplies rather affordable 13" wheels, or try Dayton wheels, which can make you a set of wheels with the proper offset, even with a 5 1/2 inch rim. See for an example of MWS 13 X 5 1/2": https://www.flickr.com/photos/ocmerb/sets/72157627501833285/

 Subject: [MarcosManiacs] wire wheel sizes
   
    I'm going to be getting new wheels for my wood hulled 1600 GT.  It currently has 13" Dunlops with bias ply tires on it from the time before I bought the car about 35 years ago.  Its nearing the end of a loooooooong restoration and I'd like to know people's opinion about whether to source new 13" wires or switch to 14" low profile.  Also does anyone have a suggestion for sourcing good wire wheels at a reasonable price including if necessary shipping to the west coast of Canada.
Thanks for any guidance.
