I've had a ring around the wheel houses here, and unless I get something drilled to measure (and there isn't much choice of pattern with the correct offset) then I'd get steel ones made up on my centres. About Aust$50 per wheel.

As for tyres, 215 60 15 has about the same rolling radius as the original 165 R 15s. 205 65 15 is slightly taller (about 0.3ins)in theory, but stretched on a 7" rim shouldn't be much different. 205 65 15 is such a common size that there are some great deals out there, so I think I'll probably go with that.
