15" Kidneys may not fit some of the bigger brakes of todays replicas. I don't think Phil sold a lot of them, for that reason. I have a set of 17" Kidneys, for that reason. 16" tire selection was really limited at the time I bought them, may still be.

Just curious. Is there a reason a 15" FIA style wheel would have better clearance for the brakes than a 15" kidney bean style wheel? It would seem the inside diameter would be the same, but I have not compared the two side by side.
