I've been looking for white walls ever since I got my bike. Man the Bones does look good with a white wall. I would love to see one on the rear, but I think the only options for us Bones owners is to either get a 16" rear, 18" rear, or paint them. If anybody finds some white walls do share.

Sorry Cam, you asked me a while ago to ask Nick, and I keep forgetting. It seems whenever I talk to him we end up in a million different directions. It's hard for me to even remember questions I want to ask about my own bike. LOL.
I thought I read somewhere that there is a way to paint them yourself. Some kind of special paint or something. Every hear of this? Or am I just nuts?

I've seen the white wall paint on a few Hot Rods. 55 Ford F100 and 56 Chevy p/up. It looked good from a distance but when you get right up on it, you can tell it is paint. More of a hassle if you ask me. If I'm going to get white walls then I'm going to get white walls, not paint on white walls. I saw a 200 white wall on a bike on ebay but I cant recall what the rear rim size was. I dig them white walls....

back in the fiftys. They were called portawalls. They looked good for a while, but then as they aged they bubbled out away from the tire, got brittle and tore. Looked pretty bad then.
