I'm aware these whitewall tyres (a computer image) might not be of everyone's taste, but I think it looks great! Originally the Flaminia was available with optional whitewall tyres so.... maybe one day. Only problem is I don't really trust the existing rubber inserts (like WEGU makes them) and a paint job with special white rubber paint... will it look OK? If the rims had no chromed outer circle, I could have the rim changed to a "whitewall tyre available" size... and in the cellar there's a set of wrongly adapted Flaminia rims (in order to have 175 x 15 tyres but it doesn't work) so maybe I could experiment with these....
