Have we heard anything about the white walls that are allegedly being made for the 17 inch rear wheels?

I haven't heard anything concerning 17inch rear wheel. could someone explain why an inch (16inches vs 17inches) would make that much difference. I don't mind the 160 size tire, that's all fine with me. kinda pricey to down grade to a 16inch wheel just so i can rock the white walls. but they are badass.

I am running Avons. I changed the 17" rim out for a 16" rim so that I could easily run white walls. The process to change out the rims is not really to difficult, but it did take some time. I have a lengthy post here on the entire process, if you want to see how.
If anyone needs any help on doing this, PM me and I will do what I can to help.

JRK5892, a site sponsor, said he's working on getting a matching 100 & 180 WW set for us. He said he'd ping me when they're ready. I only have about 5K on this set so I should be good until October/November (though I'd buy the set now and put them on then).

If you're ok with a 160 rear, I think the Avon's are the only way to go right now.

Due to the 17" issue and not wanting to goto a 16", I just run the white up front.
