Whitewall tires???

steveg78 · 03-14-2011, 09:52 PM

Saw this on my way home today. I hope these were "winter tires" but still...At least turn whitewalls IN!!!

umm that doesn't look like white walls... looks like the lip of the G35 sport 19s

you know, you may be right. I could have sworn it was whitewalls but looking at teh reflection of the "whitewalls" in the pic I have to say I may have been wrong. It def looked weird on the highway.

LOL those are the wheels

tsolin01 · 03-14-2011, 11:16 PM

Maybe they were just really dirty and looked more white than silver lol

Here's my old G35

Alright alright so I made a misconception

It definitely looked like whitewalls while on the road but who knows. It was a rough Monday in the office.

This:

They were pretty much factory standard on a lot of old style cars. I think even on into the late 90s a few Buick models still came with white-wall tires since they were marketed to 65+ year olds, but I don't think any cars come with them anymore.
