Have seen a thread previously on whitewalls and how some sit flat and some stick out. Would like the wide ones that sit flat. Anyone with the lowdown on these and best brand to buy. Pam

I have used Atlas, inserts, about $160 for a set of 4.

I wouldn't mind getting a set of these as well, Do you know what size tyres they fit on best?

57kombi · 18 Nov 2004, 9:20 am

You can get them in 14inch and 15 inch, they fit all widths I am using 165x70x15, but I have fitted them to 185 and 195 wide tyres.

Cool, thanks. I have 195/50's on the front of mine at the moment which I'll have to change as they are a bit fat for stock rims, and the whitewalls would be almost touching the road!

Been researching this now for my bug too.
57Kombi where did you buy your inserts from....
( I rang the guy in Bribie that sells them but he has no stock left til January).

I got them from Vintage Auto Parts, here in Adelaide.
Ph 08 8384 8443.

Or try Roy at Classic VW (pacific) they are in Brisbane, ph: 0421 765 600.

He will be able to get you some.

how do you clean them?

do you paint them with anything?

They are white all the way thorugh so just a rub with a dish scouring pad gets the nice and white.
