Saw an article on another forum about making your own wide whites, tried it last night, took and old Mastercraft truck tire and about 20 minutes. What ya think?
There used to be a machine that would complete this task for you. I don't think they are made anymore but I see them on ebay every once in a while.
Gastrick, how did this machine work? kinda like a lathe? can you describe it?
gastrick, you are an encyclopedia of automotive knowledge![]()
In about 1963 I worked at a Ford Dealership, and every so often the used car lot would have this guy come in who would make whitewalls out of blackwalls on the cars for sale. It increased the value and they looked newer that way.
He had some vulcanizing deal where he actually heated the tire and glued the white on. Never got a chance to watch him closely or ask questions, so that is all I know about it.

Something tells me its more trouble than its worth trying to find tires that are good enough to make into whitewalls. And it your gonna buy new tires, just buy whitwalls.
I just dont know, but I do like making something from nothing.![]()
