    your f'ing crazy

    edit* i spose i should explain... they are dangrous on 75's, potentially causing seperation of the sidewall, cant imagine how dangerous they would be on a 35

    you have to break the bead and they go between the tyre and the rim. search for white wall insert on ebay there on there but only up to 16''

    Sounds like basic white walling, not white wall inserts, better off just getting normal white/blue/red/purple/whatever walls for 19s.

    i have flappers and have for years they are not dangerous if installed correctly the bead is plenty to hold them on. but as said above flappers only go up to 16" what you are wanting is just normal white walls. google instant white walls if you are in vic there is a guy that can come out and does it to your car.

    Lol at the people who say they're dangerous, I know several people who have had, or currently have flappers and not a single issue with them whatsoever.

    yeah i've seen a few that are painted but i'm in western queensland and the closest i can find is in brissy 8 hours away plus they only last one set of tyres so i don't really think its worth it which is why i want these

    I've known several people over the years who have had tyres so bald that steel belts were showing. But no accidents or anything so must be safe hey?

    i would rekon flappers are safer cause walls they grind abit of tyre away. flapers are easy to clean and last longer too. mine are sweet
