Hi,

I'm awaiting the delivery of my kit (second week Sept.) and figured I would start to get other information gathered in the meantime. I'm fairly new on the forum, and have several unrelated questions, so I figured (hopefully the correct way) I would to post them separately.

I did order 15" rims...and can still changed them to 17". Unfortunately, I maybe 70%-90% love the period big "Goodyear" tire look, so I went with the 15" rim, but, I was wondering if this indeed is the smarter choice. I did read a few forums indicating there is (obviously) a greater selection with 17," and also heard that the few billboard type Goodyears can and will throw up rocks, thus destroying the paint job. I guess I need feedback from both 15" and 17" owners to smartly guide me in the "better" direction.

I think related, in searching for a paint color, I have noticed several cars were sporting a leather-like covering over the front of the rear-well.....maybe to protect the paint???

Look forward to your answers and help!

Walter
