Whitewall tires

So, anyone know a source for wide whitewall tires?

I'm considering them for my w108 280se on 14" wheels.

here is a pic of a car I saw down the street, I'm after something just like that.



any links or leads?

cheers, ed

Those look awesome on a W123. I want to put some on my W116.

You might change your mind once you look up the price on Coker --- Maybe it's just 185/80r13 tires that they charge a lot of money for......

It would have cost me $800 for 2" white walls from Coker Tires, the exclusive distributor. I went with 1" white walls and paid $200 for the whole set of four.
