Do it. They make your wheels look bigger aswell.

they turned out alright. they do make ur wheels look bigger. but i cant get the pic on here it wont work :

[sphell]

good on ya for trying something different. I would have thought red walls would only look good on 19"+ tyres, but hey, I might be wrong. Make sure u post up some pics when it's done.

[SLY*302]

These are the red walls guys...

[nommic]

Those wheels are hideous... trust me... I have a set (not on the car now though). Pretty much anything will look better than those.

[Polyal]

Oh I dont know about that, if the car is REALLY dumpt they can look good.

I like the redwall though, its different nice work.

[blueoval]

Not bad SLY*302. I have seen a heritage green ef fairmont with white walls dumped down my way and it does make you look twice.

[andrewts]

Noice car mate. The red walls look cool as, not a bad mod. Top stuff!

I beg to differ. I'm of the opinion that EL Ghia rims are one of the better looking E-series factory alloys.

[SLY*302]

thats why i havnt changed them. there arent any other ford rims that really look that good. eventually ill be getting new rims. but for now these look good

[andrewts]

Yeah I'll add my opinion on the wheels...

I think that the EB S-Pack 5 spokes, the Turboblades and the EL Ghia wheel are the best looking E-Series wheel you can get, and the DF LTD wheel for the luxos.

Don't worry, I always reckon that a Ghia just doesn't look complete without a set of those wheels. :P

[mcflux]

Sorry mate but I don't think your car pulls it off (your paint colour vs redwall colour & rim choice).

But I can see it working on other ELs!

[SLY*302]

the Df LTD rims are nice to. especially when they are polished up.

[XRated]

I like the idea, but I think white would be a better choice and maybe not having it so close to the actual rim.

[webby_191189]

Not bad just needs to be dumped and it would suit the car better

[SLY*302]

cant put it further than that. there is roughly 10mm from the writing on the tyre

Agree to disagree? I thought they looked terrible on my car.

[HULK EF]

any pics? id love to try it on my EF mont... its sits on ultralows with 245/35/19s.. few guys have seen it... glowing ef definatly... and some of the guys that were at the vic cruise saterday night and on the fordmods bundoora cruise...

[EdFairmontGhia]

looks good, i wonder if they can make the walling thicker and go over the writing?

[Sammy B]

Redwalls look great ;)

Hello all.

For those that are asking about where to get their tyres white / red walled if you are in Melbourne this is my territory.

Please call me if you are interested; Paul 0438 645772

I can do the following red / white walling or many other colours:


This is a pic of a GT XY that I did recently:




WH Caprice 19" rims:




Commodore VN 19":


Chevrolet 1967 Camaro 20" Rims:


I hope I have not broken any forum rules I am just trying to answer some of the questions here for a person that does this in Melbourne.

My small business does all detailing at your location which includes white / redwalling. Cars, Trucks, Planes etc.

The VN and Camaro redwalls look awesome!

[gthofan]

they look great, what is the cost of getting white/red walls

[HULK EF]

apart from the statesman needing lowering it looks great... the red walls on the VN look hot!

[XRated]

What is the price to get white-walls done, mate? And can you still use tyre shine etc?

Cheers

The rate is $35 per tyre, it takes around 2 hours per car as I am really fastidious and at your location.

No to any silica tyres.

Also any tyres that have had silicon of any nature need to be well and truely cleaned i can provide a process for this if needed, I will also do some final preparation prior to preparing the tyres for painting.

Re tyre shine, I have my own product that has gone though a lot of testing and should be ready over the next week for use, so far over the the past two weeks the results are fantastic. Its a non silicon based product and will I have it available for sale to my customers.

If you want to discuss more my number is 0438645772 and the name is Paul. Cheers. :

Sorry I forgot to say why I have my own product: the silicon reacts with the paint and does two things

1. it stops the paint from sticking to the rubber and in consequence just falls off or peels.

2. Some times cracking appears in the middle of the paint.

Thanks
