Those are the fluted 58mm Honjos.  Velo Orange has Zeppelins in the wide
size, but I understand they come with mounting tabs for brake-bolt
installation that you can't easily remove.  I have Honjo Zeppelins (Le
Paon) on my Velo Orange Randonneur

but AFAIK they're not available in a 58mm size.  Grand Bois has 58mm
hammered Honjos available.

If your frame will fit the tires, I am entirely confident you will LOVE
them.  Not the price, perhaps, but certainly the performance and in all
likelihood the appearance as well.  I see they now come in black and
white tread as well as the red.  I went with the red for the sake of
tradition, but I'm rather pleased with the look.  Sort of reminds me of
a huge Pink Pearl eraser...
