Title: Whitewall rip-offs? Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on May 19, 2014, 10:42:10 PM Whitewalls!
A lot of people like them, some like them enough to shell out large sums of money on them :o the more frugal among us will spring for the white-lines. After seeing some old 4WD tyres, the ones with the massive white lettering, and how they turn to scabby whitewalls over time I did some searching. Sure enough there are blokes out there that are turning raised letter tyres into "poor-man's" white walls. So I got to thinking, if the raised letters are hiding white-walls, what about white-line tyres? Here it is, I took to an old white-line I had down the back with a knife and sliced off a millimetre or less of black rubber, hmmmmmm (http://i60.tinypic.com/2pqp8p3.jpg) Here's one video, I saw another where the guy jacked up his hot-rod, put it gear with motor running, I guess it make for a smoother finish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkcm3rh60p0 Another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHWTa2tAYIc |
