Hey Big Kahuna..the new smoothies look really nice. I'm surprised that with their huge selection, Coker doesn't have a 16" www tire. Lots of street rods and classic autos (which they specialize in outfitting) have 16" tires and wheels...but they're most likely higher profiled, and possibly bias-ply tires, and would be too tall for the PT. Something maybe to consider though, with solid chrome smoothies, sometimes wide-whites lose thier contrast, and almost blend in too much with the wheel. Your PT has a very cool looking "60's surf" kinda thing goin' on. Back then, a one inch white wall with chrome wheels was "the" thing to do. That way there was a strip of black showing between the whitewall and the wheel and they complimented each other very well. Personally, I think that would look very hip on your car, and tires are probably more readily available (and cheaper) in a 55 or 60 series 16" radial..just a thought.
