WICKED JESTER Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 anyone has any info on where to buy some nice wide whitewalls? this place is really cool they make almost any size whitewall you can think of they custom made me some 185/60/14 for my wagon their prices are reasonable and they also do shipping http://whitewallcandystore.com/ hear is a pic of my wagon with the tires http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh173/1datrod/stuff012.jpg hope this helps Link to comment
fisch Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Coker and diamond back are cool. Also check e-bay, you never know! I've seen decent looking tires with plenty of tread go for half the cost of new. Link to comment
drastic520 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 thats exactly what im looking for. but they cost just as much as my 20s for my alty. wow. your wagon looks great man!!!!! fisch they look like the ones on your pic.... are they the same? Link to comment
fisch Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 fisch they look like the ones on your pic.... are they the same? HA I wish! The ones in my truck are photoshop specials. But do watch Ebay, a set of four 14" WWW just sold for $257! These particular ones would be pretty tall tires though. I would guess 27" total diameter. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=250223673199&rd=1 Also Craigs list. Guys with big dollar hotrods like to changes out their wheels to different styles and post the old ones on craigslist. IF you are going for the primer look, white wall paint is another option. I've read on a few rod forums that this stuff is the best! Get some cheap 14's radials and for $25 for a can, ya can't lose right! I think I will give this a shot if I can't find a deal on e-bay. But first I have to clean up my wheels and get them powder coated. And I should prolly get my truck running first too! Link to comment
drastic520 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 yeah i did see the white wall paint online last nite. i also saw a guy on you tube that made his own. looked interesting but messy.... Link to comment
fisch Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Not sure what size you are after Drastic, but I search CL tampa every day cause I have a friend in Largo. (I fantasize about flying down and driving back a datto some day.) Anyway found a couple ww ads there. One 14" and one 13". The 14's aren't super wide though. Sell the wheels and make back some costs! http://tampa.craigslist.org/pts/580517692.html http://tampa.craigslist.org/pts/593196360.html Oh and I forgot to put the link to the recomended ww paint in my last post! http://www.mbzponton.org/valueadded/other/tirepaint.htm Link to comment
drastic520 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 yeah i did see those... ill settle for some of them for now till i can afford new ones. i want the very same ones datrod has on his wagon... get down here man. its minitrck land!!!! Link to comment
fisch Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Drastic I just posted this in Hacked521's thread too but here is a guy making some wide whites with $10 junkyard tires. More Link to comment
drastic520 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 holy cow! i know where ill be this weekend... Link to comment
fisch Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 You know I was wondering if that krylon fusion paint would be useful making whitewall tires. I've heard bad stuff about normal rattle paint cracking. etc. But here is a guy on the HAMB who is rocking Krylon Fusion sprayed whitewalls for months at a time. Thought y'all might be interested! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8249&highlight=best+spraypaint Sure they aren't real, but real ones this wide in a size that fits under our fenders cost much more that the vehicle itself sometimes!

Guest DatsuNoob Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 hmmmm.... I've always thought it would be cool to find a set of Z-rated wide whites. I like to get squirrly in my truck :D Wonder if they make 'em? Link to comment
