Hey all,
Can't afford it right now, but I'm tossing up whether to get a set of whitewalls for my squareback eventually.
Just wondering who/where everyone gets theirs from/ who to avoid?
cheers,
Kat
Current daily: 67' squareback / previous daily: 71' squareback 😏 / project: 61' "secret" 😉
Kat,
There's a guy in Melbourne who does them....I think the business is called Antique Tyres, he's a VW guy as well .
Pretty sure he advertises in VWMA as well

Step up to get out !!!
Keeping it real !
Atlas white walls are the best
thanks guys, have looked at antique tyres, seem to be a decent range, will have to enquire about prices though.
cheers for the help 🙂

They may not be what you think of as cheap - but then again they are good.
Far better than the atlas flaps, and look way better than the small stripe ones.

I'm getting mine done on Thursday I'll let you know how it goes ...

I got mine from Antique tyres, had for a few years now. Yes they aren't cheap but they look great. Only downside is for a daily driver they do get dirty quickly but they still clean up well.
They would suit your square!

hey mate, i've got a mobile guy who will come out to you and paint on the latex walls - any colour any thickness. works out about 30 bux a corner.
Antique Tyres are good for uncommon sizes in whitewalls, Maxxis also have a whitewall range in more common sizes. Both those options will last far longer than painted on lines.
well these have been on for over 2 years - parked in the sun on the street. still look like new.
Flappers destroy tyres and become very noisey.
i've always done paint on stripes - allows you to have any choice of tread / profile.
we got ours from John Cain at Newcastle for our 62 bug
they are great
http://www.justauto.com.au/dealer/jlrcain/about-ushey kat theres a guy that sells the white wall ad on over at Ingleburn think he wanted $150 a set of 4.
and yes theyd suit ya veedub 100% 👍
