There are shops that will cut in any style/combination of white walls you
like. I don't know on any, but I did see a set of tires that had 3"
whitewalls on a set of radials on a '50 car. I mentioned to the powner
that I didn't know anyone was making radials with wide whitewalls and he
said that he had them custom done in California.
Anyone out there know of this type of company?
Peace,
Pat
