Hi everyone,

Like topic said, I am thinking of having whitewall on my tires in the future.

I got 19 inch Volk GT-C in gold, and tires are F 235/35/R19 and R 245/35/R19.

I just want to know:

(1). Any experiences with it, plus cost? Pros and cons.

(2). Will whitewall tires look ok on stock ride height? Mine is not lowered at the moment, but still lower than stock ride height because of the low-profile tires.

(3). Where in Perth, WA, can I go to for this job?

Any information would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi mate,

I suggest you not get it...why?

Because...

1) It looks gay and "fully sick."

2) The outer walls of your tire has to be shaved which is actually not roadworthy.

3) Doesn't last long - 6 months max and looks crap after that.

4) Looks weird as it's too far from your wheels...I suggest you get wheels with colour lips if you like this look.

5) Not cheap for what it's worth, around $60 a rim, I think.

what about red walls instead, red apparantly is way cooler than white these days...

I recommend neither

Thanks for the idea, mate.

But I don't think it will be good colour combo for my car (White car, gold GT-C rims with polish lips, red walled tires :P ). I think it will be too much colour involved.

    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well
