62 Tires and Wheels

[John L.]

Does anyone know of a 205/75 radial with a 1" whitewall?
Should the wheels be semi-gloss or gloss black. Mine have the original paint and it looks pretty flat but time will do that. Any recommended paint?

John - I got my 1" wide WW 4 years ago, so don't know if they still make them. They are B.F. Goodrich Lifesaver 205 75R 15 and have been great. They are 1" wide for sure.

If you run whitewalls on the 62, then all wheels will be black, not body color. The judging guide says Tuxedo Black as a color. Seems like this subject of wheel color has been discussed before, but I have not checked the archives.
