I just went home for lunch and checked out the rims again.  They're indeed
7", but don't have any steel inserts like those on my bundts.   They also
require longer lug bolts than the bundts, which means I'd probably have to
not only drill out the holes, but also purchase some special 14mm lugbolts
and studs.  Considerably less appealing than before.
