Going on my squareback project, but it's definite 914 content. I think they look cool! 16x6 Fuchs, tires from Coker. Definitely not something for the AX, but still neat!

NO do NOT try WW paimnt it is pure CRAP. It doesn't stick and it turns yellow within a day. Multiple coats doesn't werk either. The best cheapo way to do WW is to GRIND yes grind the blackwall away. Most people don't realize the blackwall is a pretty rhin layer and it had white under it. I havn't tried this yet on a SOLID blak tire, but the typical thin white walls work great. There is a video on you tube of a demonstrating it. The white part of the tire is also the meat so there is no fear of taking off a little black. Heres the video. I have done it and YES it is a f-in mess but it gets you passable wid ewhites pretty cheap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
