Speaking of Wide Whites. I saw a video on Youtube of a Rat Rodder who ground his own white walls using an electric angle grinder and raised white letter tires. Looked pretty easy and really great when he was done. I thought about trying it but I don't have the guts to take a grinder to an inflated tire!
