Wheel options, Narrow body 4 lug. Options

[Alphaogre]

I have a 1970 914-4 that I am going to be flat towing to AX and track events. It is a narrow body 4 lug. I am looking to have a set of wheels to flat tow/ drive around town on Sundays, then have another set of wheels with purpose track tires for when I get to the track or AX.

When I bought the car, it came with a set of 5 lug Fuchs with a five lug conversion kit. This obviously will not pass tech.

I love the look of the Fuchs, but love tracking the car more! I picked up a set of Gurney wheels for the new 4 lug "street" wheel set up, but I'm having trouble finding the track wheels. I am looking to have them as wide as possible, from what I read, I think it is around 7in. But I'm not sure on which 4 lugs are anywhere near the 7 in wide range.

Any wheels that can be recommended to look at would be great. I also noticed the gurney wheels are a Mac lug set up., this would be mean that I would have to have screw in studs in the hub right? Or is there a way to run these wheels with a lug bolt set up?

Seemingly impossible to find a 7" wide wheel with 4.5" to 5" back spacing, found a couple 6.5"s but the back spacing is tricky. Deffenetly have some 6" options and shit tons of 5.5" options. (These are all generic "in stock" options)

So the question is, if the car is not super dialed in and set up to a comparative level, will you notice the difference between the .5" or 1" width difference?

Is it worth it, or is it better to just go with what will easily work and get out there. Then work toward dialing the car in and looking for advantages slightly better mechanical grip here and there, with set up and wheel options?

Went through this all years ago when I AX'd here in San Diego too, there's only a handful of wheels that are "plug and play" to keep the 4x130 bolt pattern.
Minilites, 6.5" and heavy
Panasports, look like minilites, can be custom up to 7" but are going to run you more $, are made/avail here in So California--Torrance (probably the most logical choice)
Revolutions, 7" also heavy and somewhat hard to find because they can only be had used
Centerlines, were 3 piece so various sizes, typically no holes for venting, bug guys used them a lot.

...and there were some rare 'others' and some other branded knock offs out there...

My dream was to get some OE 2.0 Fuchs widened to 7" got distracted by shiny things and stopped AX'ing as much so I haven't looked in a long time...
