Hello all,

Does anybody know where to get 3/4" or 1" wide whitewall inserts like the portawalls? Does such size exist? Can't find them anywhere, used ones are ok too. Thanks for your help!

Oh sorry misread your post. The thinnest I've seen are 1-3/4.

You could alway buy the 1 3/4 inserts and cut them down to an inch. A friend of mine picked up some 3 inch inserts and cut them down to 2 inch.

I was thinking the same I may have to go that route and cut them. But worried when the wheels are turning they might look lopsided if not cut well and also if they will still stick against the tire. Do you know what he used to cut them?

having used them several times, I don't think it will work to cut them down that far. they need that size to lay down right. You could always use the black/white ones, I think they will work for what you want

I used the red/white ones on my Type34. These are very good quality and I would only use these. They do take a long time to get, but worth it to me

Those are perfect! I didn't look closely to know they have two tone ones, now I see. Thanks for posting the pics it helps see them better.

I don't know that anyone sells 3/4" or 1" portawalls. I've been looking for some 3/4" portawalls myself.
