hi dude....mezetler, continental and maxxis all produce whitewalls for various sizes.the best bet wud be to go directly to the distributor if they have a shop....but be prepared to pay alot more then normal tires....check out the singapore continental webbie....forgot the url....try searchin from yahoo....

I went to the shop next to aboy 2 weeks ago and they offer me a white wall rubber to be placed on your stock tires. I'm not sure how it will work but you can ask. It's the shop that has a lot of chrome cruiser accessories and sell stickers next to the shop that do seat cover on the same row with aboy shop.

Good luck.

Sorry, No.

I can't use white wall tires with my 190/50/17 tires:smile:

Just go there and ask the auntie:thumb:

Hi guys, just sharing... I was at the shop during lunch hours and i enquire about the price of the white walls. she quoted me $35 for a pair.( one tire need a pair as its fitted on each side of the walls, so two pair is required for both front and rear)

She also say that she has all sizes. I am pretty interested, just that i am sceptical that it will turn out looking kinda tacky later on...

u can try like our friend here, He painted himself with paint

I dun think the price is includesive of installation. By the looks of it, its a pretty universal type of white rubber ring. Same type as those used by the Volks Bug car. size ranges from 12" to 17"

managed to dig up this thread as i have to change tires soon... hmm still no place selling whitewalls huh? the slip-ons don't sound too good actually but judging from the pricing... it's abt $100+- if u include installation and everything... if the original whitewall is about the same price, i'd rather get the real thing..

I've heard that adding white walls to your existing tires may adversely affect tire balance. This can be destabilising at speed can the tires to wobble.

I can't vouch for the reliability of this personally, but only share what i've picked up from other forums. Please do your homework carefully, otherwise you may end up needing to buy new tires or rebalancing your "re-furbished" set.

I know this is an old thread but it's good to know nonetheless.

u mean your friend painted the whitewall tyres himself?
