Im gonna do a pearl white or just a plain white with black wheels and red tires,apes and black and red and white fenders and a red seat.

 

[CCR]

[chimichanga]

I cant save that chrome. its pretty bad so i decided to paint the rims.

 

[chimichanga]

finally got all the paint of this sucker!

I picked these up today. What do you guys think about green wall tires?

 

[jon]

greenwalls huh! paint it a light yellow or cream with white accents "darts or scallops" classic colors or just clear the sanded frame?

 

[rgallen]

I like the green walls. Maybe with white frame and a couple of green or orange accents. Or maybe I'll keep my ideas to myself.

I was thinking of that also. Here are some better pictures of the tires

Those tires are cool. What are they and where'd you get them?
Thanks.

Is that a protective coating over a whitewall? You can see white around the bead. Whitewall car tires have a coating, but thats blue. Got me scratchin' the cranium.

Nope. Its actually a green wall. The white must be from the flash of the camera.
