There's nothing sexier on an oval than a set of white walls on two-tone smothies.

Hmmm im going to disagree there. I think the BRM's one best looking things to put on a oval. I want to put some BRM's on my horizion blue oval.

Just my opinion though.

Don't get me wrong, I like BRMs but I like them better on the bigger back windowed Beetles. With Ovals, I am partial to the two toned smoothies as the oval window, and the OG colors of those cars, scream to me 1950's. For that look to be complete, a set of white wall bias plys surrounding a two tone rim... Ooo la la!
