White Wall Envy

So i'm passing a 73 super beetle yesterday and the guy has big fat white wall tires.
I'm blown away with how cool that was. As it is again time to swap tires, I can think of no other tire than a white wall i'd like to wear.
what tire or tire/wheel combination will fit on the cooper.
I have 2 sets of wheels i can put these on, but if white walls won't fit either of them, i really don't mind finding a good wheel and tire combination that'd fit.
if you have white walls on your mini, show them off.

Have a look at this thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ite-walls.html

They reference PortaWalls. http://www.portawalls.com/ Basically, white wall inserts to turn any tire into a whitewall tire. They need to be installed by a tire shop because they mount under the bead. I have heard though, that they can flap around and maybe fly off at highway speeds.
