Re: lets see some WHITEWALLS

Got mine shaved saved atleast 1/2 of what new real whitewalls cost, the two fronts are 2" and the backs are 1 1/2 " , i didnt have 4 of the same tires, if you do go the shaved white walls the tires with white lettering makes bigger whitewalls then tires with pinner whites,I dont now for sure but think that since my rear tires are one size smaller in height then my front tires is the reason why the white wall is smaller on my back tires


I put the taller tire up front to fill up the wheel well opening more and the smaller tires in the back to try and get the rear lower

Do you drive up 99 or 5 when you go up to Sac? Let me know the next time you head up there. Maybe we can meet up and I can take those mirrors off your hands without you having to ship them. I just live a stone' throw off of 5 on your way up to Sac.

You don't shave white walls, you shave black walls to become white walls.

The raised white letters are part of a white strip that runs the whole sidewall.

Looks great, what size and offset and make of rims are they?
look like a perfect fit.
Do you have rotors on the front? clearance issues?

Thanks. Funny you say that, they were actually supposed to be metallic copper. My buddy owns a powder coating shop, and I told him what I wanted so we got on the Internet to look at what was available for powder. We found a nice metallic copper, but when I went to pick them up they were closer to root beer and I liked the color so I just kept them.

I've gotten tons of compliments on them. What I like about them is they're different.
