I have already Started Emailing Links to some Tire Manufacturers. I think some Tire Names would be Helpful. Also if On;y ONE SIZE were to be made what would be your Choice? I think the P255/45/18 would be the most Popular.

I want em... I don't care what size but prefer 17". Just as long as it's not 20". Kevin,

Keep us informed. I've been holding off on new wheels/tires because nothing has grabbed my attention. But some cragars and RWL would push me off the fence.

I voted 17" RWL because I already have 17" bullits. But 18" and those polished bullits....NICE!

If you are going to to white lettered tires, it ONLY looks good on 16" and below tires. Otherwise, it is just not enough sidewall to look good.

Just my $0.02.

OK, I voted for 18's, but I actually want a set of 18's and 17's. One for my '99 (17's) and ideally one for my '06 (18's) when I get it.

Wish I could vote twice!

It looks like at least 50% of those that voted prefer the 18" wheels. It's kind of a tossup for me on the raised or blackwalls but I voted blackwalls since I like the "unbadged/unlettered" look but I also remember the days of the raised whites and they also look good. I like them both.

My Vista Blue will be built next week. I would love to add RWL to the 17" Bullets to match my 1969 Sportsroof!

18" RWL, but preferably BFG RWL, I wouldn't mind goodyear's if it happened.
White lettering on chrome 18" bullits would look so nice

I'm doing the retro theme with my GT using a cold air CDC shaker and rear window louvers from MRT.

I would like to see a 17" BF Goodrich Radial TA with the solid style raised white letters.

Goodyear would be okay, but again I think the white letters should be solid.

Just my thoughts

I like the white letter 16's. Maybe I'm behind the times, but I have always preferred the outlined white letter tire over the raised letters myself.
