Re: Porta Wall White Walls

When a port-o-wall is mounted you need to lightly seat the tire bead. Then us a clean rubber mallet to "work" the port-o-wall bead evenly around the rim. When a well made port-o-wall is seated properly it will cup in against the sidewall of the tire and look pretty good.
Toward the end of their popularity there were some nicely made narrow whites that fit the best. The worst were the big sloppy feeling ones.

I use Westleys and 800 grit wet or dry sandpaper for my white walls. Westleys is enough, but the sandpaper gets the outer edge and really makes the stand out.

I am in the dark sweatshirt here and in my fourth year of tire college.
