Hey guys, just wondering if you have a vl with whitewalls, could you post up some pics of them. Also, what are they worth roughly for 18x225's? I'm after some for my vlt. thanks brad

imo they dont look that great - they just give the illusion that the rims are bigger than what they are. It seems to be a fashion trend which will soon disappear.

I'd get it for sure, what brand tyres is it easiest applied too? (obviously some have patterns and writing etc which would make it hard) I like it just cos it makes the rims look bigger.

yeah im getting some FR18s when tax comes back (either white, black or polished, all with polished outers) But before they go on im gonna send the rear ones out and get them dished a bit more and while im at it i might as well get the tyres "white walled". I really wanna know what black fr18s with polished outers would look like on my car, but black ones are pretty rare!

Heres GIMEUP it has the thin white line around its tyres. I want to get some for mine. Ive never seen them on a SL only on Calais and my VL is gold so it would be interesting to see what it would look like. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
