Default red stripe

Hi. I've been thinking that some red stripe tires would look pretty good on my silver '01 Vert. Anyone seen any of these?

Thanks

No such thing as a bad beer!
So are any tires available with a red stripe? I realize that there are not many choices to fit the vette.
Also wondering about wheels with more outside offset ,(reverse rims). Surely these are available.

Went for adrive this afternoon....beautiful day. The Vettes really came out of the woodwork!

Keep up with reading on the forum; there are a lot of good info and tips. As for striping your wheels, there was a recent post not too long ago that I think is great. Let me find the link, and yes there are plenty of options out there. It just depends as to how much you want to spend and the quality.

Have not seen any tires with a red stripe for the C5 - just wheels that have a red stripe around the outer face of the lip area.
