Subject:Re: wheel size numbering

The Ronal wheels came with the van... I don't particularly like the way
they look, one is very dented  (my fault), and the tires on them are wearing
out. So instead of  getting the bent wheel repaired, and mounting new tires,
 I'm thinking of  replacement wheels and new tires- and I'm not limiting
myself to 14" wheels.  Thanks to your reply ( and experience) I've a much
better understanding of the numbering/sizing of wheels,  and what's needed
to fit them on a van. Now I can sift through the wreckers etc with a bit
more confidence.
