Rob, in answer to your questions, this is all a matter of personal choice,
but I will add the pros and cons.
> About carbs: Webber conversion?
Is that the single downdraft 28/36 or 32/36? People who drive everyday swear
by them.($300-$400) new
Is it the dual DCOE setup? I swear by them! ($800-$1000 new)

I have 14" wires on my daily driver, though I prefer solid wheels. Less of a
pain in the butt. Spokes break, and need to be trued. If you start from
scratch, steel wheels are a permanant fix. But, wires are a real novelty,
and kids I work with are amazed at their removal and replacement. They do
look nice, better than a custom wheel. So the choice is yours.

Better handling, selection, availability, and gas mileage, at the cost of
softer kidney punching
