Hi Dan,

I’m going for 17 inch but if I were doing this on my own without Dennis Haynes’ assistence I’d go with 16 GW steel wheels black with retro hub caps. 

16 inch should give you more tire options then 15 inch and maybe more stability. 
15 and up gives you the option for the big brake kits as long as you have the later spindles. 

Best,

Eric Caron
