I will probably be running 165SR15s. How wide are the '6 rims? I only
have the plastic hub-caps (without decals) so I don't really need the
hubcap studs, it's more for the concours crowd (ha!)
I will probably have the bald tires removed soon so I can properly measure
the wheels. Then I'll know what I have.
I think I've already got a repro wheel; only 4 out of 5 have the writing
on the blanks spots about the hubcap studs. Suits me :-)
