Whitewalls?
Think this is the right area...
Ah I only really know of two around the south eastern region of Melbourne. Eastside whitewalls (The guy sold it though) and instant whitewalls..
I cant seem to find anybody who knows much about other places and/or the prices of getting walls while still keeping the ratings on the tire. Anybody able to fill me in?
Cheers
Are we there yet?
Cant help you with somebody to do it for you but they are now a defectable item on your car because they make a groove into the side wall to apply the colour and this could compromise the strength of the sidewall.
Are we there yet?
Yeah I know they've been defectable for a while. But I thought they were legal as long as they don't shave off the tire ratings. Which in reality is just applying paint to the tire isn't it?
The Juggernaught Bitch!
yeah their now aplying them over the writing, i havent seen them myself but not much different according to my mate...
"The flight is gonna be a little longer than we've expected, uh we've got some very strong head winds, gigity"
I'm thinking about testing it on my vs.. if they look shit I'll just swap the tires around each rim so they're still the right direction just facing in.

They could work on some tyres, but overall it would look pretty bad if you just put it over the top of the tyre markings.
trent was 'ere
Not really, a little while ago saw a Rotary with sidewalls over the writing, actually looked alright!Originally Posted by GetToDaChopa

They look shithouse on anything but a classic anyway. But each to their own. I have seen one set with the wall over the markings. Didn't look any different really.

Wouldn't it stand out a lot and you would be able to see the half the writing painted in and some not, well i guess depends on what the tyre looks like. I know some tyre have a lot of clear space that you could paint it the whitewalls on.

Not really. A little yes, but it beats a yellow sticker if you like whitewalls.
Stockish
give dave a call at instant whitewalls mate, he was researching how to apply them legally a little whille ago pretty sure he does them now and still keeps all the tyre ratings etc. also one of his employee's cars passed through the pits in kew with whitewalls so they must be safe.
Yeah I saw on his myspace a while ago that he found a way to do it. Any idea on the price?
I'll give him a call sometime soonish. My driving tire is a tad... baldish

Yep I saw a set aswell, i think his name is troy from instant white walls who done them to a customers car? (Im not 100% because this is only what i have read) but they looked sweet and same as normal walls
there are plenty of places that just spray the white line on the tyre..
