>From an American perspective that makes sense. Every small domestic car of that vintage rode 13 or 14 inch rims (for example the Mustang II). Camaro/Firebird still rode 15's, but by then it was 25% bigger than the competition (defanged Charger was even bigger). By today's standards, wheels on 70's vintage vehicles tend to look aesthetically small, but in the day 15 inch rims would have looked out of place too large. I believe the original Mini rode 12 inch rims. Does anyone know if DMC originally planned 14 inch rims on our rears?
