not a fan on your car sorry. Car screams out sports/racey and whitewalls is more of a luxury thing.

Not sure about the white coz there's nothing else white on your car. (except the Ralliart lettering).
Maybe grind them again (when you want to or they get rubbed too much) and try...
- Red - like your brakes.
- Silver (if available) - like your rims. Could even make your rims look bigger :shock:
- or Black :P
Anyone want to photoshop the above colours?

...anyway, how much did it cost and who does this?

If you bought white walls you could make them virtually any color you like with some
time and effort- perhaps a photo shop first before you did red and they faded to pink though me thinks:D

Red would look nice on a black ralliart :D
Theyre on the lexus down at TeamK customs... looks awsome.. but on a black sports, would look nice :D

Can't say I'm a fan, it looks like you are rolling on just rims. IMO white walls need a decent amount of tyre profile to work, and really only suit retro-looking rims.
IMO they actually look better on Andrewd's rims, because he has a bit of dish, which reduces the rolling-on-bare-rims look.
Also they seem to accentuate the relative smallness of the brakes, another of many reason why I avoid large rims, the brakes need to filll out most of od the "hole" , or it looks silly.
having said all that, Good on you for trying something a little different :thumbsup:

Loving it. Especially after seeing the white and red variants at the show.

09-12-2006, 07:22 AM
i'm gonna join the red-wall bandwagon :D
i'll be getting mine done on the next set of tyres, seen a few late model cars with it now and definately prefer it over the white walls
gremlin
09-12-2006, 07:57 AM
yeah i reckon the white walls look tonnes better on andrewd's car than mine..
will try the red walls next time.. ill post pics when the time comes
bloke i no does the white walls...i got mates rates ..but for anyone else, $25 a tyre

and me.
I think your car would look perfect with 19's of the same style and no painted walls at all. Just my opinion, but well done for trying something different.
Looks like the car from back to the future when they put the train wheels on it.
and yes I know that was a DeLorean and not a Magna

Seeing as whitewalls are making a come back, i wonder how long it will take before a foxtail on the aerial to return?? :bowrofl:
Must say though that whitewalls do suit some cars (old cars) but there not my thing to have.

i dont mind that pic.
cant honestly say if it makes it look better then just black but i still like it.
i assume it would look a lil different in the flesh?

Yeah im a big fan of whitewalls, but I think your rims are just an inch or so too big which wrecks the proportion of the pin stripe on such a low profile tyre.

And me. 17's / 18's is the most that look good and balanced. Bigger isn't always better.
