Thinking about Red Line Tires...

Well, I am a totally retro influenced kind of guy and I have been thinking of getting some Red Line Radials for my new GT. I have used Diamond Backs on several of my hot rods and would probably use those.

I have a 2010 GT in black with the five spoke silver 19 inch wheels and I can't decided if I need to go with a more "retro" style 20 or if the those 19's would look good with the red lines.

What do you guys think?

I am shocked still with the "retro" craze that non of the companies have put modern red lines or white letters on a Mustang, Challenger, or Camaro yet as an option.

Nitto had redline tires for a while. They were only available in 18s though. I currently and running them on mine with a retro inspired 5 spoke wheel. I think they look pretty good.

About 3-4 years ago, there was a pretty large thread regarding RWL's tires. The consensus of opinion (which proved to be wrong) was that with the Challenger and Camero coming out, in conjunction with the Mustang, there would be enough demand for at least one manufacturer to make them available. Members were encouraged to email at least one tire company requesting them. IMO, with the popularity of the larger diameter wheels, there really isn't enough sidewall on the most popular size tire to get that retro RWL look.
