Keep the original 14" wheels?

Guys,

I'm at a point on this car where I need to buy tires. The current tires have good tread and not cracking, but these are at least 20 years old. Probably 25 years old. Regardless I'm buying tires.

You guys know the issue ... there's NOT a lot of 14" tires to choose from. There is a set of 215/60's that I'm willing to try because they're fairly inexpensive. The car has 225/60's on it now.

I am, or was, considering to go to 15's or 16's, but I'd like to keep the original tire height of ~24". But that limits tire choices in other sizes. And I'm not liking some of the 15" and 16" wheels I've looked at.

So, should I just run the original 14" Rallye wheels, and put the cheap 14's on it and see what I think? It's not a Lexus, I don't have to be on a premium tire. Just ones that won't come flying apart due to age.

Thanks.
