Hey guys, Have had a lot of questions about white walls recently, How much they cost, Where to get them done etc. The idea of this thread is for all to post any info about white wallers or ask any questions about them. This should keep the forums a little bit cleaner as well as my inbox! Something's you should know about whitewalls: 1: Proper white walls are painted on to your tyre. The tyre is shaved back a few mm to provide a flat and adhesive surface. 2: As the side wall of your tyre is shaved back, There for compromising the integrity of the wall, It may be illegal. 3: Yes, You can get different sized and coloured walls (EG: A Red wall 20mm thick, A White wall 25mm thick etc) 4: Prices can vary. Any where from $80-$160 for all 4 wheels, Expect to pay more if getting multiple colours done. 5: They can and will become discoloured. Clean them often to prevent and remove any staining and decolourisation. 6: Different solutions are used to clean. Your everyday household cleaning products can do the job, Jiff, Ajax etc. (Ask your white waller if he recommends a solution) 7: Beware of gutters and scrubbing! These will damage your white walls 8: DO NOT use tyre shine again! This will permanently stain your white wall! Now, My white walls are done by Jaime from Mr White Walls in Geebung. He does a complete (and great quality) job for $150. My wheels suffer from scrubbing and obviously this is not good for the white wall itself. So to have the same tyres re-done he only charges $100. He also sells a "special" cleaning solution for $15 which is well worth it! You will notice as soon as you use it how well it works. Jaime will also do Red coloured walls as well.

He is located on Delta St, Geebung mate. As for "port-a-walls" can you describe this a bit better? port a walls are white wall inserts the sit in the bead of your tyre and hold snug up to your tyre cheap as here is a pic of them http://images.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/pix/2080137.jpg |

Have heard about these. If im not mistaken they are made from latex? If heard reports of this falling/flying off while driving... At the end of the day, The proper paint on walls can last you years or ask aslong as your tyres do. So $150 for something that might last you 2 years really isnt that pricey! Very interested in redwalls, is there a size limit for rims they can do? Have no idea bout this stuff Not really... However i doubt he would physically fit a 28 or 30 inch rim on his machine! |
