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.

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • 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!
