just saw in iron works magazine that Metal
Sport wheels is working with someone on getting wide white walls for not only 21x3.5 rims but also other popular sizes for baggers which most certainly include 18" rims. i am going to give them a call.

 

Just got off the phone with David from Metal Sport Wheels and he said he is getting a shipment of 18" white wall tires for baggers. the sizes he will be getting is 130 60 18", 150 60 18", 180 50 18" for the rear and also 120 70 21" for the front. the tire is made by V Rubber. don't know who they are but i am excited about it.

there is a pic of a bagger with an 18" wide white wall on the rear and 21" in the front

 

White Wall's for Bagger's are on the way!
The wait is finally over! MetalSport inc. has teamed up with international tire giant and O.E. supplier, VEE Rubber to create the perfect white wall tire in most popular sizes for cruiser and touring bikes. A 130/70/18, 150/60/18, 180/50/18, 120/70/21, and 130/50/23. In addition to these being the perfect sizes many of the most popular touring bikes on the road, these tires will have the load rating to handle even the heaviest of dressers. The tires are engineered to have superior handling characteristics, and will be available to dealers in the U.S. exclusively through MetalSport inc, and will be available mid to late August.

 

I have been in contact with doug from metal sport since last july about this tire and have yet to see one. Have been waiting for a 23 and 18. every time i get a hold of him i get the same thing, they should be on there way. i really want these for a project im doing but will have to wait longer i guess. Vee has a pic up and size options on there site.

 

When do you think I will receive one if i was to order one in april?
