<VV> Change to 14" or 15" wheels on early Corvairs

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Randy,

I had XXR 15x7 wheels on our wagon (they were unfortunately stolen) and I have 1980 Datsun 280ZX 15x6 wheels on it now.  The XXR wheels come drilled for two four lug patterns (eight holes), that's why it looks like it's not 4 lug.
