You know, it didn't occur to me until just now, but if the factory truly did dip the 15" wheels (something I'm not certain of), perhaps the lack of a good dip line on the 16" wheels was the reason that the 16" all had painted centers. I'd always assumed it was a cost saving measure (since the petals didn't have to be finished and polished), but maybe the more fussy paint process had something to do with that as well?
