Re: got some white walls grinded today

They take a grinder to the sidewall and then paint it? Or... What am I missing?

It does look nice.

Re: got some white walls grinded today

They really set off the truck. A nice choice on the size and really look clean on the edges.

old school tire shops that have a sidewall grinding machine can take whiteletter tires or pinner whites and grind them larger whitewalls or you can do it your self with a grinder but id suggest a shop do it since it is safer with a machine and cheap heres a couple videos on youtube:

Actually losthope has it right, this shop i brought it to has a machine that grinds the side wall while the tire is turning and makes a even cut

I was lucky to find this little tire shop; its ran by some vietnamese people couldn't ask for better service from these guys.

One of my friends drove by there shop one day and called me. There sign says "custom white wall tires"

Re: got some white walls grinded today

My son-in-law is trying this (as we speak) at the tire shop he works at - this is after 10 minutes and clearly the edges need some more work...

stay tuned.
