Alright,. . . I know that this has been brought up in another thread. I too have always loved the look of white walls. I've got them on my motorcycle. But in a four inch tire? After searching the interwebs I stumbled across a possible solution; an industrial roofing paint.
I started by sanding the tires a bit to rough them up. Then cleaned them with a de-greaser, dried them, taped them and started at it.
This is the first coat:

The tubing on this frame is one inch, I ordered an inexpensive motorcycle throttle and some grips on epay. Got it all hooked up and running just fine:thumbsup:
The whitewalls are doing okay so far. The rims had to be packed with grease after mounting and that made for a fine mess:cursing: But they cleaned up well.
I took the 'ol girl for a little spin (no seat or brakes just yet).
The grips are white too, that is why they are not mounted yet. Don't want to get them dirty just yet.

They only sell it in gallon's and five gallon buckets...
So. . .I have a ton left. Good things I like white walls! If this stuff works Everything will have wide whites!:thumbsup:
Mountain bike, power washer, wheel barrow, :laugh:

And then I got a foot long piece of pipe to extend the muffler out from under the seat. My buddy had some extra exhaust wrap from his honda bobber project so we used that.
Here is a pic. of the pipe. I am having some trouble though. I think that the extra weight and bend that I put in the pipe trying to be fancy cause it to vibrate too much and come loose. I might have to put some sort of bracket on the back of the frame to hold it in place.
Any ideas?
