Not a lot of options. Anything wider on a 14" rim is rare in the USA,
almost unknown here in Australia. Going to a 15" is a possibility, but

aftermarket wheels are either heavy, weak, poorly balanced or real
expensive. I don't want ot put on a set of cheapy Chinese wheels made by
slave laborers out of recycled coke cans, and I don't want to pay a
fortune
for new tyres.
