I was surprised to see a white pinstripe (correct for and a great look on some 69 Firebirds), which is available only in one size, 225/60R16. The difficulty would be finding a suitable 16" wheel for the 69 Firebird.

They also offer a redline, in 235/55R17. Might be easier to find a suitable rim for both F and A bodies. Isn't there a Rally II in 17" now, or a modern alloy rim styled like the Rally II? I saw something in Summit TX & GA locations recently but I don't know if they had a 16" or 17" version.
My first call was to Vogue. I described the problem to them. I was looking for 14" WSW tires and they said that they did not make a size that small. However, they said that if anything would remove the browning of the tires, that their tire cleaner would. So I bought a bottle, hoping for the best. Unfortunately, no improvement. Like I said, I ended up with Diamond Backs and so far, they still are bright white. By the way, DB said to only use car wash soap and water to clean their white walls.
