Given the "retro" look of the '05, especially with the stock "Bullitts" . . . does anyone else think that redline tires would compliment the look?

I've been digging around and it appears that no one makes a decent size modern tire with this feature. I found some in 14 and 15 inch sizes but nothing larger.

Here's an example . . . .

Stockton Wheel and Tire

Then I ran into this . . . .

The guy did them himself, here's a URL to his "How To" page . . . . . .

Thoughts, opinions, comments, any other options out there?

 

that "How To" method seems pretty good try it out and post some pics

 

Yeah, I thought so too . . . . . may just give it a swing on a tire I don't care about while I'm waiting for my ride to arrive.

 

Those red lines remind me of the one's that came with my '65 2+2. I guess Stockton Tire just has replacements for the old wheel sizes.

 

Yup, that's the era . . look . . feel I was thinking of . . . . . can't see stabbing 15 inch wheels/tires on to do it though . . . . even if they would fit.

 

:angry: Didn't really care for them then; wouldn't do now.
Always liked a basic blackwall look and let the details pop
.... showing my age

 

Diamond back classics makes a modern size redline!!!
Rock-n-roll on these and the price ain't painful

I think the look would be killer and nobody else at the crusie nights will have em

 

You'd have to put them on a red, or black tone car for them to look right though...

 

Thanks TrickSixtyFive . . . . they are exactly what I was looking for.

My car is black codeman94, I agree they'd be better on certain colored cars.

Woody1 . . . . . . to each his own . . . . . I liked 'em then (showing my age) on some rigs but I'd have to see one on my car to pass final judgement . . . today. :scratch:
