Sid,
Check these out! White walls at a fraction of the price. The only thing is, I read something that said that it's not good to use them on radial tires. Don't know if it's true. But, I'm going to check with my local tire guys this week and see what they say.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WD1V

Does anyone know if Portawalls are something anyone can install themselves and without having to get major tools out for?

After you get the skirts and real white walls you can think about running boards and roof rails. Then all your friends can ride on the outside like real gangsters.

At first glance I didn't like it but that look grew on me really fast. It's a nice change.

Apparently, You let the air out of your tires and fit them between the rubber and the rim. Still haven't talked to my tire shop. But, I'm hoping that they'll be able to do it on the cheap.

LOL!

I don't know why I found this funny, probably because port-o-walls have been out for over 50 years. I've run a few sets on my old VW's.

Stick with the 1-2" kind. The big 3", while pimp, flap in the breeze.

You can put these on in about 20 minutes if you have a jack, and a good air source.

Jack up the tire you want to install on. I then pull the valve stem cores out of the tires (on the car mind you) to let the air out faster. You could sit there and let it out with a stick or something, but that would be slow. Then push the port o wall in around the rim. Make sure its even, put the valve stem core back in, air up the tire. Viola! Instant white walls.

I have some uber rare Red inserts. Now those are pimpin!

Bug Box,
Where did you find them, how much? And, did you put them on radial tires?

Yes I have put them on radials. There is no reason there should be a difference. They make them in 14", 15" and 16" rim sizes. I got my last few sets off of ebay, I just waited for a good deal. Tonight I can try and find an online vendor, I know there is one somewhere.

Later
Charles

I've been keeping my eye out on ebay. I've tried the normal vendors ( Coker, whitewall candystore) and noone seems to carry them. If you find something please let me know.

Ok, I knew there was one!

Here are the 15" version WAY cheaper than what those yo yo's put on ebay. I bought a set from these guys, and all was good.
