IMO VLs look awesome with whitewalls if their done right. Chromies look kinda gay with white walls but Simmons,VY SS 18s,VX GTSs etc suit them pretty good. Its one of those things thats very hard to pull off without making it look sh*t.

I reckon white walls on huge rims looks awesome, like on 22inch. I got the number of a dude in sydney that comes to you and paints them on. $25 a wheel, depending on how thick you want it.

yeah white walls i think you need your car to have a certain appeal to pull it off. with this paint on white walls how long does that last i guess if it looks cheap then you can scratch it off. plus only 25 bux per wheel not bad for an extra 5hp at the wheels

I reckon it looks tuff, the guy who serviced my injectors up here does it as well, apparently there areonly about 5 machines in australia that can do it, with 2 of them in vic. just remember though don't do em on new tyres as the paint will turn to sh!t, need to do it on tyres that have seen a few k's.

I might start my own business.. I'll put the lines on the tyres for nothing. Someone get me some whiteout tape and away I go.

My mate has them on an old datsun 69 model i asked him about them and he had it done. the strip is only like 30 mm wide and painted on after a buffing line is put on.Old school white walls are a white circle of rubber that go's in the lip of your tyre's, i seen these at summer nats for sale $100 and you can see that they are not part of the tyre on close inspection.Rob.
