sark021 Member 38 Member For: 18y 7m 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 18/07/09 03:52 AM Share Posted 18/07/09 03:52 AM Had the tyres done over with red walls recently. At the time I thought it would be a really cool things to do and would look fine. Trouble is....does it? When I emailed a work friend some pictures he thinks it looks s**t (mind you this is from a bloke that drives a VW Golf!). He thinks it looks a bit too ricey. Can you guys give me an honest opinion. Too late to go back now (unless of course I ditch the Dunlop 3000As for a new set of Goodyear Eagle F1s. So what do you guys think??

Your mate was right.Always get someone to photoshop things like that before you go ahead, can save $$ and headaches.

Some of the later tyres are now just being painted rather than ground.

I would check about roadworthy stuff too. You don't want to find insurance doesn't cover it!

I had red walls put on my lightning strike ba, but they were also on 20's so I reckon could pull it off...
