does anyone know someone that can supply them or know someone that paints on white walls over in WA
if anyone one can help me out that would be greet

cheer steve

get clysons8 to freight some over from adelaide. he doesnt mess around.

he has nice whitewalls on his 1k.

Did u try tech9 tyres? They're usually pretty good.

ben aka kue1000, his work is antique tyres shoot him a message or ring his work

Dont they come out and paint your own tyres onsite? Thats what I thought, prob'ly wrong though.

I pay $80 for the thin whitewalls and $120 for the thick ones (yes that's all four!). Bloke comes round here and does it.

I insist you use old rubber, I go out of my way to find old rubber with good tread. New rubber will turn poo brown in about two weeks. My tyres on there now are still as bright as ever.







Last set of wheels cost me $80 to buy plus the white walling was $200. Not a bad deal. I think you pay that much per tyre for the true factory made whitewalls.

Running stock wheels also guarantees your drive train will survive (if you have a heavily worked motor) because when you hammer it, the only thing that tends to break is traction. The wider the tire the more strain you put on the drive train (diff failure, axles snapping, gearbox etc).

Looks hot on your car Chris!

yeah i tried tech9 plus antique tyres don't have any but waiting on phone call back as he might know someone how has...
did get a number off a guy who said he used to paint them on but not sure if he does them anymore so going to give him a try tomorrow..
and clyons8 thanks for the info very useful will keep it all in mind if i get them painted on...


Thanks for all the info and suggestions guys

I have a set of 12 inch tyres with good, old rubber. If you really get stuck maybe I could have those done for you or send my set to you and I get those done later on.

Not sure, I would think there would be at least one whitewaller in WA/perth.

But seriously there is no better way to keep the whitewalls super bright, use some old rubber that still has plenty of life in it.

Some thick redwalls would look good with the red GX stripes/badging you have on your ute.

Thanks for the offer champ, i will keep that in mind,
I'm sure i will be able to find someone you'ld think!!!!
Guess i will be on the look out for some old tread then.......
thanks for all your help and support mate cheers
