    turbo3six,

    What size skins you running on the fronts?

    I was thinking about 15X7's and when I saw the polished deepset, it really doesn't look that different than the polished edges on the 16's. hmmm

    Will 16's fit on a 72? What about 15x7 on the rears?

    You can run 16x6 on all 4 corners on an early 911 (69-73) without any problem. These are on my 70E. I'm running 205/50-16s

    15s look more period but limit you more in tire selection.

    Here's some 16's with anodized paddles.

    I've always considered the glass to be half full...that is until I reached middle age and realized that it is actually half empty.
