seem kind of interesting. Easier than the home made ones cheaper than the real thing.

Uh, my dad used them in the '60's on his '61 Biscayne. He liked them.

They don't have any 12-inch goodies. Crap...can't put them on my Cub Cadet tractor. But, they do have the right size for my Honda 50 MiniTrail.

Yeah, I got a set for my 17th birthday to put on my '54 Ford. The one's I got were supposed to look like Goodyear Double-Eagles. But, this was in '64. Narrow whitewalls were only a couple of years old, as a stying cue. Nobody wanted wide whites. We didn't have a retro thing going. No nostalgia. No newstalgia. No old school.

These have their place in giving a look to what can't be obtained. But I still want some in a 12-inch size. There's got to be an Austin Mini (original) that needs wide whites to look "stock".
