Whitewalls??
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

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

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 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!

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.
