Considering whitewalls for the old bomb, just to spice things up a bit, but I'm a bit worried that the novelty will wear off after a few weeks and I'll decide they look like sh*t. What do you guy's reckon? Got a mate to do a chop for me. Without With Honest opinions please guy's. Cheers. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yes you can but none to fit 18s lol.. As youd know Aido i have a set of CV8 moanro rims with <<<<whitewalls and yeh made the car look heaps different and from a distance they maek the rims look bigger then they really are.. With your car id get them because they are different but yeh definitely go smaller stripe.. $25-30 per tyre (so like $100ish or so for a full car) is the going rate as far as i know..
