    Sorry to hijack...
    I'm not familiar with what Harvey does to make it look like a 15, can someone explain or, better yet, post a photo?

    Harvey (and others, of course)| can polish and anodize the pedals and the lip to look like an older 15. I like 6 X 16s on narrow bodied cars, just not the all black centers.

    Sorry for another hijack....if anyone is running 205/55/15-original 901 deep 6's on a narrow bodied car (specifically a Targa SWB) , could you please post a photo. This is the combo I am thinking of for my 68 Targa. Thank you!
