That sure is a lot of work considering a new set of 14" 1 inch whitewalls cost only around $100-150. |

Who wants 1" whitewalls, though? Small whitewalls look like ass.
Three inches-- then we're talkin! |

IMHO I think white walls are for realy old antiques from 1900-1955,
Also I hate 1' white walls also! |

early VW sedans look very nice with wide whitewalls!
Some w123s may look good with them as well, but I photoshopped some onto my white example, and it was just too much white-- An orient red w123 with a white roof would look very nice with wide whitewalls!
blue with white roof would be nice with them as well-- I generally think a car with two-tone paint looks nice with them. |

Leave the whitewalls to the old pre-60's cars.

Talked with some Coworkers...
Vogue is the Brand. Spendy but damn nice tires. Two color pinstripe sidewalls I remember. See them on high end luxury rides people like to tweak out tastefully. |

too much effort for little returns,.. but since whitewalls are impossible to come by in PK this may be something worth looking into (for those who need whitewalls) |
