What he said.
Or, theres a guy in the Cleveland Ohio area who does "vulcanizing", just like daimondback does.
He's hard to get ahold of, and if you arent from near here, wont do any good. But he charges between 130-175 to do 4 wide whitewalls, depending on your width.
My buddy had some do 2 years ago and they look fine.

As for Coker and Diamondback, Ive had at least 7 sets of DBs and 3 Cokers, and theyre nice but 700-900 depending on size.


Ive also had 3 sets of portawalls, and will not do it again. Some lasted for awhile, others not long at all. So not worth the 100 bones for me.

You've BEEN hooked up... with the cut your own videos.

That's as cheap as its gonna get...plus a $19.99 angle gringer from Harbor Freight and a sander which you hopefully already have.

Those look ancient and the seller readily admits the sidewalls are already cracking. I wonder how safe they'd be?

You guys have some killer rides! I looked up how much they would sell for new..and you guys were not kidding 180-200 dollars a tire! i always got them used so i never really ask how much they were..im thinking of just shaving them for now but i cant find a f$#king tire shop in sacramento that does them!

I am the seller an had them on my stepside no probs sorry they are sold

[GGinferno]

i just found out why no one here wants to shave tires..this tire shop by my work said no one will do it due to liabilty. Im planning on buying some new or used...

Well if you can look at a hot chick AND park your truck without hitting the front tire on the curb, then shaved whitewalls might be for you! However, i fall in the latter category and that happened to me, and now i have horrible curb rash on my front tire. You cannot clean shaved whites up well, and they turn yellow much faster in my opinion. Mine are shaved to 2" wide, and i love the look. But if i had the scratch, i would buy Diamondbacks or whatever. I think for low buck builds and rat rod style trucks shaved whites are perfect. Im thinking i need curb feelers, or i gotta stop checking out chicks while i drive!

I like the way the cockers are so bright and seem to shine. But they are to dam expencive. Next time I might try shaveing my own.

Makes me feel like I'm in the fourth grade again.

Just my opinion, But,, Coming from someone whos spent good money on both Coker BFG radial www's, and Diamondback radial www's, I will say, after having several sets of each brand, I would, everytime, take Diamondback over Cokers.

The last set of Cokers I bought was because I won a $300. gift certificate at Goodguys. So it made sense to buy those.

Several of you know me from the HAMB also, and I have a album titled Grumpys Used Cars, and it has many pics of cars and trucks Ive owned with www's.
When I had a good job, before our plant closed, it was nothing for me to buy and sell or trade cars/trucks frequently. And my usual first thing would be to drop the funds on new www's.

Having that wide experience, I always found it way easier to keep the DBs clean and they always stayed way whiter...

Just my experience, and opinion...

Carry on with your regularly scheduled programming............
