Tires are now 7 years old, so....




I had originally planned to use some old MB wheels I got for $40 (total) - they are forged and IIRC a photo is up higher in this thread. But they need to be refinished and they need adapters to work. Following my usual penchant of working things out on paper first, the cost of powder coating, new tires, mount, balance & stems actually cost nearly as much as just buying these and bolting them on, besides this being a lot less effort on my part.

These are 15" wheels, often called "EuroLook" wheels. The old ones are steel and were only 14" diameter, making it nearly impossible to find tires for them.
