Yes dr it's a toss up whether to go smooth or proudly display the marque name.

Thats gonna look sweet as 8) 8) good to see the supplier of this stuff seems to be at least a bit easier to get hold of ?
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Yep definitely need white walls. Will finish it off nicely. If you can try and get Hankooks. They'll handle the abuse from the 8. A mate ran them on his Fairlane with a healthy 302 Windsor and he found they could hook or spin depending on how he felt like driving.

Those hub caps look great Bumpar with the H medallion. I reckon white walls will really set them off. :thumbsup:

We run Hankook whitewalls on the panelvan for over 100,000ks and the whitewalls were never a problem to look after. :esmile:
The Hankooks looked so much better than the Simitomo's we have now. :thumbsdown: (We were told that Hankook whitewalls are no more.......sadly find out this is not the case).... The tyres look average, they have done only 3,000ks and the white walls are browning. I have just ordered antique whitewall cleaner from Antique tyres, fingers crossed that it saves me from too much grief.
