Yeah, I'd like to know wheel make, cost, and width.

I could only make out that the front/rear tires are 225/50R16. I know that won't help with rim information but it might give an idea on the width of the rim.

I don't think the front/rear tires are the same size, Robert. You are right in that the rears are 225/50's, on either 7 or 8" rims (I'm guessing 7's because of the look of the sidewall- it's pulled in a little to meet the rim) but the fronts are (I think) smaller, either 195's or 205's, on 5½'s or 6's?

As for the rims- while I don't think they are Vintage 190's, they look a little like them around the wheel nut area, but I've never heard of them building 16" wheels (which would be sooo cooool!).  It'll be interesting to hear what @MVSpyder has to say after the trip to the tire shop. Al

I see that now. I enlarged two different photos of the rear tire thinking one of them was the front. I did think it was idd that the tires were the same. Can’t fault a guy for trying. Lol
