Thanks for the comments.  I am going to use the Original 190/65 390MM TRX tires from Coker.  Expensive but concours correct

Those really look amazing.  What was done to them?  Sanded down, polished and then clearcoated?

I did not not do the work.  I had them done.  Sorry if that was misleading.  Here is where I had them refinished.
