The G60 Corrado actually did come with 15" wheels, but they were 4 bolt (only
4 bolt 15" that I know of).

Speaking of 15" wheels, has anyone ever had any luck using them with 50-series
tires w/respect to denting them?  I had been extremely tempted to put
195/50-15s on my '81, but after witnessing my girlfriend's experience with
her Corrado (granted, the early Corrado wheels are like putty) I went with
'84 GTI 14" rims.  I'm extremely happy with the way they look and perform
(Yokohama A509s) but I'm wondering if anyone is using low-ratio tires with
15" rims and not regretting it.
