Thanks for the info, CHL! That front tire really matches the rear well. And it looks good in the 17" as well. In fact, I didn't realize until I saw your knuckles for about 10 times that they didn't come in 16" so it had to be 17". Nice look. And your bike looks great! Thanks again.

I told myself no more big items until it's paid off. I want some motor work that is going to be $3,500.... and thought that was about it, until I seen those dang new wagon wheels!!!!We'll see what happens in 4 years when I'm not shelling out $350 / month in payments :-)

OK so I'm thinking of putting wide white walls on Midnight. My question is on cleaning. Due I clean them the way I did my White letter tires on my Ole Chevelle way back when????? Think the wide white wall will look good with my Red,White & Blue theme.

Not sure how you cleaned your white letters way back when. There is a spray called "Bleach White" I believe that works pretty well. A few guys on here advocated using simple green and a magic eraser - that works fantastic!! When I got my wheels changed at a local indy, the guy was using brake cleaner (or contact cleaner, I'm not 100%, I'll look on the can when I get home) - spraying it on a rag, then wiping the white wall with that rag. That worked simply incredibly - not sure of the long term effects on the white wall with that method tho - but it sure took the elbow work out of it.

I wanted www tires on my 09 EG but none were available for the front. You say that Shinko has 17" www, didn't know that. I settled for the narrow ww. They look good but next time.
