Default Wire wheels

Would wire wheels suit a 75? Perhaps with whitewall tyres? Or am i being fanciful? Or is that too many questions?

I actually looked into the white wall tyre option, there is a place called North Hants Tyres.....

http://www.northhantstyre.co.uk/

They do a tyre with a 1" white wall rim for about £85 if I can remember correctly, I actually wanted a thicker white rim but they did not do one in the size I needed at the time.

Its worth a think and a chat with them............. I still would luv to get a set of white walls (think it would suit the Wedgwood superbly).

Oh behave yourselves you 2
Whitewalls are off of the 50s think bubblegum pink Crestas & Yellow Zodiacs & wires well they went out in the sixties apart from MGBs & the like

Now white bands I do like & really want a set for my P6
