There used to be this old guy that would show up at shows in calif, Paso ,Pismo ect. But I don't know if he's still around he was pretty old some 10 years or so ago. I really wish there were more people doing it . I'd like to find someone or a machine to start doing it myself. I had a pic of a homemade machine I'll see if i can find it, if i do I'll post it.

The other day I searched for more photos of your Burb.

The link to the outfit that Chizzler mentioned. http://benavideztires.com/

Page that shows the WW buffer http://benavideztires.com/services.htm

That might be worthy of a road trip in a few months.

thanks mr48chev.

mr48chev · 10-22-2012, 11:34 PM

It's 191 miles from my house and might save me a few hundred bucks on wide whites. Thanks for remembering the info.

NEWFISHER · 10-22-2012, 11:50 PM

i do remember talking with you.you should start a build thread.lots of great people here with tons of info.if i can help with anything let me know.

NEWFISHER · 10-23-2012, 01:28 PM

I called http://benavideztires.com/ in Woodburn and they quoted me $80 for all 4 carry in. You have to drop them and pick them back up in a couple days as its not a job they do while you wait. Headed up there soon, I will report back!

mr48chev · 10-23-2012, 04:54 PM

That would mean two road trips for me unless they have a way to deliver.

NEWFISHER · 10-26-2012, 07:05 PM

I drove up after work the other night with the tires, spoke to Arnoldo the owner and he was awsome. gave me the nickle tour, showed me the machine that he designed and built himself and will have them done tonight!

meter swinger · 10-26-2012, 08:48 PM

I think ill drag a set or two down. Its just a matter of time before the wife will want to go to portland and blow some $$$.

If have to go down there and be drug through ikea again I may as well get some whitewalls out of it

Picked them up Friday night, pulled of the bias plys on Saturday and this thing drives soooo much better and looks cool too! I was on the fence about the aqua wheel instead of black, but with the hub caps painted white and the polished stainless ring they look pretty good.

Had to hit the local Drive in for a shake and show of the new shoes!

If your on a budget and don't want to drop the heavy coin on some whide whitess, $20 a tire is money well spent on grinding them.

Great job on the truck, you've got it looking sharp. The wheels look good, better than black would look IMO.

I wish there was someone in the Atlanta area that ground tires like that, but it seems that it's only done on the west coast.

meter swinger · 10-29-2012, 10:42 AM

That looks awesome. Nice job on the wheel colors too.

Nice looking wheel and tire combo. that really dresses up the truck.

I need to get a bit closer to having the 48 on the road before I have it done but it looks like a great option to paying the asking price that the back east guys are asking and I believe that Diamondback does the same thing that they are doing at their shop.

NEWFISHER · 10-29-2012, 03:29 PM

Hurst Racing Tire in oregon city bonds white walls to new tires and also grinds. They are great to work with also.
