www.usacomp.com has
"minilites" in just about any size you want.
The Mantulas have the alloy hubs on the front with 4 1/4"
PCD to match the rear. The pre-1972 cars had the rears redrilled to 3 3/4"
PCD to match the front. So the Mantulas have much more choice when it
comes to wheels.
I've communicated with Chris in the UK and he currently
runs 205/50-R15's all around but is going to switch to 195/55R15 in the front
and 205/55R15 in the rear on his Mantula (with 4 1/4" PCD). He uses 15"x7"
wheels with a 37mm offset.
The USAComp site is a big help in figuring this out.
The "minilites" run about $240/wheel.

After squeeling and sliding around the Thunderhill track on my 195/70/13s with the nice folks of the Volvo Club of America,I too am motivated to upgrade my wheel and tire setup and I did bit of poking around a bit and was told that Panastort rims might be of use to look into ,they are not cheap (about $250 each or so) but less costly than a new set of hubs and less expencive rims.I was told that they can drill the wheels at the factory to fit any bolt pattern.
Mike Denman hase a set of Panasports(14 inchers) so might want to check with him to get his oppinion.
A while back Don Lattimer was looking in to this very same subject.
Don?Any progress?
Regards,
Mark Petrinovich
