Looking for Wide Whitewall tires

[Bill1BigDog]

I recently had seen a trike in the Gallery with wide white wall tires. I'm looking to get that older vintage look. I have a 2011 Tri-Glide that I plan to custom paint it to look a bit different with a vintage style two tone paint scheme. I had wide white walls tires on my 1989 HD Electra Glide Sport and like them. I can get the same HD front tire with the wide white walls but looking for what type tire for the rear of the Tri-Glide. If anyone has any ideas on tires please chime in.
Also while I'm thinking about changing out the tires, does anyone have good or bad advice about chrome wheels? Either exchange them in for chrome ones or buy them out right? Seen a company on E-bay in California that does these on a exchange basis.

Thanks in advance,
Bill :Shrug:

Bill, I am assuming it is likely the same company although I can't recall the name.
About 5 years ago my husband sent his Street Glide wheels to a company in California who exchanged them for chrome wheels. The only negative was that their service was slow. But the quality of their work is gorgeous! They buff off all imperfections prior to chroming, and five years and 76,000 miles later the wheels and chrome still look amazing.

My husband just came in.... The company was called American Revolution at that time, but was later known as USA Chrome. He does not know if it is still in business, but you can compare it with the company you saw on Ebay.

There is also one on ebay from Galveston Texas who does a great job---they stock many and will give you credit for yours or you can send yours in for them to do.
Reminds me, i need to send my OEM's off my VTX 1800 f and Champion trike to get chromed---any one need em ?

BILL1BIGDOG,

I just purchased some WWW for my 2009 Royal Star Venture trike. There are a few places you can get them. I purchased my tires from Summit. They were the cheapest place. See links below.
