    Default Whitewalls - Would you get them?

    Just wondering how many of you love whitewalls? (Or any colour for that matter) Or are they old news now?

    it all depends on your car and tires, if it looks good get them, if not, dont get them, it really comes down to what the driver wants his / her car to look like

    as far as I'm concerned, whitewalls belong on FJ Holdens.
    they look stupid on Commodores, especially low profile tyres.

    It's just one of those silly fads like jetpilot stickers & clear tail lights that everyone will look back on in a few years time and wonder what on earth people were thinking

    Not really relevant, but the Harley Davidson Night-Rods look awesome with that red line around the rim.

    I wasn't trying to hurt anyone...That's just my opinion.

    If you want white lettering on your tyres, thats up to you.

    EDIT: It's OK, i've got tyres with white lettering....However, i have them fitted the RIGHT way around.

    Wouldn't you like to have white lettering ON THE OUTSIDE, come on, give it a try, it'll look great! Your car will go perfectly with them.

    People that don't like white letters are gay, clearly this is my theory and I'll stick to it

    LOL, how did i know you'd have something to say about that Jason?

    You can stick to your "theory" and i'll stick to hating white letters with a passion....

    I don't blame you man, i blame the tyre companies for coming up with such a hidious idea in the first place.
