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.

    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
