Default 23" White wall - need help and advice

I have buddy putting a 23" front wheel on his heritage and is asking what white wall tires people are running in a 23" size.

Any feedback on what your running and opinions are appreciated.

Don't think anything is available other than a Vee for a 23 WW. I have a buddy who is a vendor and he told me he talked to Avon and Metzler and they should have a 23 WW coming out soon. If anyone has any other info let me know. I really want a 23 WW but don't want to run a Vee.

Yup Vee is the only one I know of.
Maybe get one custom done. I know before there use to be a shop that did custom WW on 21" 120 tires, so people wouldn't have to run 21" 90 tires on their 3.5" wide wheels

Thanks! In doing a little research I am seeing two different part numbers for a 23" WWW from Vee. Can you shed any light on that? Is one a newer one that replaced an original?

I called diamondback and hdwheels a few months ago and they told me they couldn't do a 23 WW. If anything has changed please let me know.
