HELP- new White walls to look old

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by rodomotive, Aug 11, 2010.

  1. Does anyone out there have a suggestion on how to make new white walls look old. I have been unable to find a good set of used or NOS 560x15 WW Firestone Deluxe Champions to match the tires for the rear so I'm thinking I need to buy new ones and age them, you know that slight yellow beige look.
    Thanks, Jeff.

    If you put them on and drive with them for a couple of weeks....just the road dust, etc will discolor them slightly.

    invent a time machine. take your 2 already old tires with you into the future, & install them on your car! they should match perfectly that way.

    Would it be too obvious for me to suggest that you just clean your old ones, or am I missing something here?
    I think I'll bang my head on the keyboard now.

    Put them up to trade for used ones. Probably would find some in a couple hours. Or scrub the shit outta the old ones with sos pads and make them look good.

    You know , even though I catch alot of crap for my user name here ,I cant for the life of me understand the idiocy of "patina"on a set of whitewalls , you think he is into "patina" in the cloting department too? , you know , like the brand new jeans with the whole knee tore out of them , and the ass already worn off them? , I know , I got some "patina" old underwear he can have too , only $50.00 a pair....:D

    I know the winters are long and you may need something to do, but this is ridiculous! If you send me those new ww's I'm sure I could dig you up some crappy old yellow walls.

    need to look for a set of "barn find" whitewalls, then you can start a new trend.

    Get some whitewall paint & throw dirt at them while its wet. Maybe it will make the 'Tech' section in Ol Skool Rodz?? :)
