Rummaging through the NCRS online store in the C1 section, I see "1953-67 NCRS Pocket Spec Guide" -- this is the pub you refer to that would contain the chassis-specific numbers and codes?

They did eventually come out with C5 repros in all kinds of sizes, so if it were me I'd either just get some non-stock wheels or wait for the repros in my sizes.
