home made wide whites

I made my first set of wide whites today. They turned out pretty nice and it gives them that old school look!

 

looks good! I take it you grinded them...how long did it take you?

 

It took about 2 hours not to bad

 

deja veux.....again

 

that is the only reason you even clicked on this thread isn't it? just to******.

let the guy show off, he has something to be proud of. looks a hell of a lot better than the raised white letters.

 

Thanks

 

it could have been added to the 6 or 7 other show off your homemade white wall threads.

 

Looks good... would look better with something besides those rally wheels. Some straight up steelies would rock.

 

What did you use?

 

Fuck the usual whiners here, it looks good and you accomplished something today which is probably more then the whiners did. Looks great!

Sorry, I'm pretty new a this ! I'm not on here to start trouble Just trying to have some fun and meet other hot rodders

 

I agree ditch the rallys

 

I used a 4.5" grinder with a 36 grit disc and smoothed it out with a orbital sander with 40 grit

 

Keep posting your stuff man, just dont worry about the old grumpys around here. To tell the truth I dont even think they own cars, just like to******.

Yea, I'll have to get some steelies or some older type of mag

 

nice work- looks like a nice little day project that can make a big difference.

 

how else can a new guy learn to search for topics that are open? there are several threads on here about posting your homemade whitewalls. that is why it is suggested to search before you post. he could have added his pics there and been a part of a broader dialogue.
not being grumpy,but there is some protocol and if the new guy doesn't hear it,the forum will be over run with post on one subject.
come see me and i'll give you a tour of my cars.

 

Then why didnt you post this answer originally instead of a smart**** post. Too many cats here like to jump all over posts.

No need to get rid of the Rallys, just cover them up with some vintage hubcaps.

 

Yeah, and we could just add the******ing part in one of the other 10,000,000******ing posts! Might should have searched for other similar******ing posts first.

 

Come on girls....Lets get over it.
How did you accompilsh the white walls?what grit?what exactly did you do?

 

Great idea ! Thanks

 

I had no idea whitewalls could be created with a grinder/sander. It looks sweet Giggy.

 

I'd like to see a thread started on your Jeepster. Very cool.

 

Nice job! Thanks for the post.

Thats funny this was posted today. I was just informed on how to do this today on the phone, and bam here it is. We want details I was told to do it on a old tire balancer and use it like a lathe. Well...... I don't have one of those, So what did you do to make them look so good?

 

They do look nice. I think the hard part would be to find a tire that had enough white underneath to make a nice wide whitewall like you did. I guess the Dunlops are on the good list.

 

Groovy, Thanks for the link.
