I believe Jay Leno's Buick Roadmaster has something similar as well. 20" wheels that look like 15's with white walls and factory hubcaps.

If you have a patent post it up so we can see what you are trying to do.

Kindig It Designs is also known for pulling off the white wall wheel look as well.

Wow, they do beautiful work. I'm going to spend time on their site and check them out.

Thanks for the links.

====================================
I am waiting for it to be issued. I receive notice from the PTO that after a $1200 payment is would be allowed with 2-3 weeks.

As soon as I get the "Ribboned" Copy (Official) I have no problem posting it. The firm I used to prepare everything said that as soon as it is issued, it will be final. We had to make some adjustments to the claims, which with my last couple of patent a long time ago seemed to be normal.

As soon as get it I'll also post the number as it will be available to the public to anyone who looks for it.

I'm sorry but the corrected copy I have I'm told not to release. He said just wait for it to be final then feel free to let it be seen.

I promise that I have not exaggerated anything. This has been a long and arduous project taking a number of years and a bunch of money to complete.

I hope my efforts will be rewarded, at the very least I think it would be a nice choice for the people in the hobby to have.

I am hoping to have these on my cars.

I'm sorry I can't post what I have yet.

Once it is cleared, I am hoping to get it in the market. I have dreamed of being able to own several sets of these myself.

All of my cars will have a set if it is possible.

JB400:

I went over the webpage and didn't see anything about a special wheel. If you have any photos, could you post them, or send one to me?

I may have just missed it, but not on purpose.

Thanks,

Here is an example of a larger diameter wheel with the wide lip painted white. With tire mounted gives the appearance of smaller dianeter wheel/tall side wall. Could probably also do painted black with redstripe to get "60's" look.

Those are 22" tires. The "white wall" portion is part of the aluminum wheel.

Best USA wheel manufacturer......I've always like Complete Custom Wheels you will find them on SCCA AutoX cars, track cars and drift cars. Weld wheel bought them out a while ago....the original owner was a great guy to work out difficult solutions.
