Erik Smith Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 What? That's cool and I was just wondering if that concept would work trying to build a sleeper but with performance tires...anything's possible I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 1017 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I have seen some high end builds in Street Rodder that have these white wall wheels. Very Kool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 If you can paint 'em white, I don't see why you couldn't paint (or powder-coat) 'em black. New performance with old-school looks and attitude. This is definitely my New Favorite Idea of the Day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathgoblin Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I like! The look of a white wall with the performance of a low profile tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'm afraid I'm old enough to remember these. We had something like it on our new '49 Ford. They were made of some type of plastic that went on like a hub cap that clipped onto the outer edge of the wheel. White wall tires were very expensive after WW II, and this was a way to get the look without the expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I've been wondering why someone didn't do this for years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
