White Wall Tyres

[Rabbit]

Can anybody tell me where too go???? Ha Ha.
No in regards to purchasing decent white wall stockys. In Adelaide. Or Interstate plus freight charge. >:( >:(
Also the factory size for a FC Special Sedan, as I haven't got my Baby yet because He doesnt want to sell it yet.
Might have to Kill him...... >:(

Rabbit,
Try Antique Tyres, they have some expensive ones $400+ each and apparently some budget ones too. Not sure about 13" fittings but they definately have 14".

If you like I can bring along their catalog when I collect the rims next week.

G'day Gents,
Yes I can recommend Antique Tyre Supplies (Heidelberg Vic from memory). I bought a set of Cooper whitewalls there that are on my FC. Not a bad tyre and I think they were about $130ea about 3 years ago. They are also very pleasant people to deal with.

Cheers,

Graham.

I also bought a set of Porta-Walls from Antique Tyres just recently.  Don't the tyre-fitting service guys back away when you turn up with a packet of those!

$130/set of 4.  And they look great on my cross-plies.

cheers

Thanks Guys for the info , sounds good.

As Ret said they look great.Ret you need to watch how you take your photos as your car almost looks like that grey undercoat colour.
Cheers,
Graham ;D

[Rabbit]

I thought it was the Magna undercoat colour.
Only kidding.

[ekmad]

There were machines around that would spin your wheel around ( while still on the car ) and smooth out a narrow sidewall strip and then apply paint, either white or red, to give a coloured sidewall.  A lot of car yards had them to "snazz up" their cars.  Are they still around??

We don't want any confusion like that, do we? :P

[Rabbit]

It would still look good even if it was....

 Your car looked  just as good as mine in that top looking colour (grey) no not the primer or undercoate.Should keep it that colour.
WAYNE

[RET]

I am keeping it that colour.  It's quite obviously blue.  So you agree your car would look better blue, then?

Sorry Rabbit, your thread on White Walls seems to have been hijacked by the Grey Army...

[Rabbit]

That's Cool I'm going to paint my car white and put Grey walls on it.

[Wayne]

RET
No the grey still looks good I would consider a washed out blue as my second choice. Any way what is wrong with a nice grey car it has appeal.
WAYNE

[Rabbit]

Any colour is Cool on these cars ;D

This is one arguement no one will win, once grey (Primer colour) is mentioned a thread is doomed to be overrun by the everlasting arguement "IS Grey a True Colour"

PS
Where the photos of the infamous FC

[Rabbit]

Cool now I get it.
This FC that I'm talking about is not ready for sale as yet. Heard about it from a bloke at work. He has seen it and reckons it's pretty damm good. I now have the address of where it is, I will be having a look soon.
Post pics. when I get , hopefully soon. This bloke at work has said that the dude that owns this car want's to sell it to me . Cool.

Try being colour-blind...  at my first FE-FC Nats (back in '95) I just assumed that Holden painted all of their cars two-tone grey  :)  Go GREEN - ugh no, not environmental, just two-tone  :)

Good luck with the white walls Rabbit

[FEHOLDEN]

gidday all

just thought i would let you all argue yourselves hoarse over the futility of other colours before i out trumped the lot of you with corsair tan 8) ;D :)


denis

ps that would be with or without white wall tyres

[craiga]

I'm tempted, but not THAT easily baited. ;)

Poor Rabbit, he only wanted some advice about whitewalls and had his thread hijacked by the Osama Bin Primer brigade. Bloody black and white terrorists!

Cheers,

Craig.
