ThreeOneEight 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) I regard myself as a veritable doyen of good taste, but have become compelled with the idea to fit my E30 with whitewalls. Not the full tyre job ones, mind, but more the 10-20mm strip whitewalls- I will try to post a picture of what I mean. Anyway, I might put this one to poll, after a few comments. Pic of my car, and my current wheels (bottlecaps) on my profile. What do we all think? Edited March 3, 2006 by ThreeOneEight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThreeOneEight 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) I photoshopped. Didn't look too cool. I just saw them on a mint condition Merc W123 coupe, and loved them. I hate the thick whitewalls, I wanted the tiny almost pinstripish ones... Not sure if anyone got what I meant, but there's quite a difference in looks... Anyway, turns out the profile of the tyres isn't really suitable for it, so will be giving it a miss... 15 inch Baskets are on my Birthday wishlist for tomorrow! I was hoping for the 1930s "Cruella De Vil's Car" look more than anything 'gangster'. I'm so famously white and middle class, I thought that Snoop Dog was a cousin of Scooby.

ThreeOneEight 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2006 Nope, was just a totally standard coupe W123, white with thin white walls. I guess the E30 isn't as "chromey" as a merc, but all the same, It was a good look. Have seen KOKANE. Rather cool. Reminded me of the Mr Asia days!

alex 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2006 sorry if im being newb.. but what are whitewalls ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThreeOneEight 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2006 basically, tyres with a white facing band which either covers the whole, or just part of the tyre wall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 They were cool in America in the '50s. Mind you, I can't talk - I wnet through that dreadful big white lettering on the tyres. We also painted a thin white stripe around them in those days (early '70s) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
