WWW for 16 x 7

[Big Kahuna]

Okay...

I was planning to put wide white wall tires on my new 16 x 7 inch Smoothies.

Most people who have posted pictures of their Cruisers with wide white walls have the smaller 15 inch Smoothies.

Coker does not have a wide white wall available for the 16 x 7 rims.

Anyone out there have wide white walls for a larger 16 x 7 rims? If so, who sells them?

Thanks...

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.

Cool link..nice to see somebody else other than Coker giving people a choice. There you go Big Kahuna..not only 16"..but 17's too..wow..and, in a 55 series profile. I'll be anxious to hear (and see) if you find some you like and mount em up on your Surf-Cruiser.
