Default Custom wheels and WWW tires?

I want to go with aftermarket wheel on my RKC mainly because I think the larger dia wheels look better than the 16" factory ones.But I also like the retro look of a WWW tire,I have found a supplier with WWW's up to 19". So my question is this is there anybody out there running a custom wheel such as a 18 or 19" with a www tire and could you post a picture. or for that matter any custom wheel with a WWW tire. Just trying to find a good blend for kind of a retro-rod type look. Thanks

I'm in the same boat too. I just want to get rid of my spokes before I need to clean them. [:@]

I love the WWW's and love the look of the spokes. I just hate cleaning them. What I need is the thick 40 spoke wheel, in the profile chrome rim, with a slow twist in the spokes. That will ROCK when the sun hits it. Anybody seen anything like that?

No, but it sounds nice. Design it, make it affordable, and I'll buy one.
