Here's pics of my red seats red piping / perforated centers... The seats ae going back to the upholsterer to tighten up the hog rings around the insert to get it a little tighter, other than that I am very happy with the look. Can't wait to have them installed. You can see the red door panels in the background... Left the pics large so you can get a better view.

Regarding 14" stock sized tires to 15" tires:
195/60R15 will be the closest match you can get with 205/60R15 being a close second (.09% off on the former, 1.9% off on the latter)

215/55R15 would be pretty darn close too at .5% difference.

Dunno what or if there's a coating on those wheels, but do know that if you look up 'polishing turnbinas' there's a thread or two specific to those particular wheels.
