Ehh not a fan.. That red Cooper on steelies looks fine though... I guess it just takes the right setup to pull it off, as with everything else.. Slam that b*tch and get some black wheels...
Finally had the need to replace the stock tires on my '03 (35,000 miles). Went with some white walls from American Classic. Found a dealer in Elizabethtown, PA (Universal Vintage Tires) 205/55 R16. Fit just fine, no rubbing. Wide whites may not be ideal for some, but I like the classic look. Now the only challenge is keeping them clean.
Definitely needs to be lowered or something to pull off the look.....this one pulls it off well
You can get white walls to fit on any 15 or 16 inch tire and as long as you have enough sidewall, they aren't prone to damage. Makes finding them a bit easier.
THAT's the way to do it. It could use a set of chrome lug nuts and stainless trim rings, though, for the real '50s look.
You can keep 'em spotless and bright.. but it'll take a bit o' work. I have a Road King with big whites.. I use Whestley's w/w cleaner and a Brillo pad. The key thing is to spray the Whestley's on the Brillo pad, and not on the whites - it will kill the clearcoat on your wheels (or aluminum if they're not clearcoated). Do one w/w at a time, and rinse it thoroughly - you'll love how easy it is to keep 'em clean.
hey, i thought we were supposed to be talking about the original posters white walls
Actually, I was trying to discourage the bickering and keep the thread on-topic about white walls. Folks posting their white walls are in keeping with the discussion.

I dont think there was any bickering....kenchan and i have friendly discussions like that all the time in the wheel forums. The discussion was about the original and contemporary styles related to whitewalls and it was all in good fun.
