Well boys this is just my two cents!

I dont like giant cheese platters with white walls on a car, it looks too over done and simply shocking, i dont get how the owner could possibly think it looks decent. Thats just my oppinion, but im sure theres alot of car enthusist that will agree with me on this one.

White walls have been around for a very long time, way before the VP's were out! So your not the first, and dont get a big head thinking everyone is coppying you because your cars 'the ****' its anything but. People only do what they like and think makes there car unique and will turn heads. Theres a difference between unique car with a decent set of rims and with white walls to give it that extra little bit and a stocker with rubbish bin lids stolen from my neighbours.


LMFAO yeh i dont like white walls either or those rims

I reckon a good rule of thumb is
Anything that was built without the option of radial tyres is ideal for proper white/blue walls. 2 1/2" wide minimum
Any car with chrome bumpers is ok for white/blue stripe tyres. Red stripe should have blackouts and chrome bumpers. 1" wide maximum
No chrome on the car should rule out coloured tyres.
Does anyone know who does white stripe tyres in Adelaide?

I think do what you want, your car, you have to live with it. That said, I personally wouldn't do it, I think they are an eyesore. I think doing things purely for the reason that it is uncommon and not many other people do it is also lame. There are usually reasons why people don't commonly do certain mods, they are generally because they can't afford to or it will make their car look like shyte. In this case the latter applies to both the white walls and rims.
