Reid,
You can get reproduction Dunlop Gold Seal tires in blackwall from British
Wire Wheel (www.britishwirewheel.com). The last time I checked, they were going
for $95 each. British Wire Wheel will send them out to North Carolina to have
whitewalls put on. They send them to Diamond Back Classics, a classic tire
manufacturer that puts whitewalls by a vulcanizing process on classic
reproduction tires of other manufacturers. If you have the Dunlop repros
already, Diamond Back will put the whitewalls on for you for $50 per tire. Talk
to John White (I kid you not) about the whitewall process. Very nice fellow and
very knowledgeable about tires.
