Hi Joey, 
Don't take this the wrong way, but bolt on wire wheels weigh a ton, and they
can go out of true just like any other wire wheel. A lot of them require
inner tubes, too, which are a safety hazard as well as making balancing a
pain.

The spinners are probably going to sell for a lot of money... You can
significantly improve the reliability and handling of your car by getting a
nice set of aluminum wheels. Find some that were originally on a Ford
Mustang II, Pinto, or Capri. They will have about the right offset, and
they're usually 13 x 5" or 13 x 5.5". You should be able to get a set of
four for under $100 (or even under $50 if you can find them at the
autowreckers).

Best regards,
Theo
