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 noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
