On the new M/Ts, the wheels measure 8" in diameter. They come with that grey "disc" to complete the wheel.
My personal preference was to leave it off. I prefer the all-black look.
Does Weber make a white-wall for these wheels? The traditional look of wheels would be preferred.
I would even consider a black-wall with "WEBER" in white.

SIDE NOTE: If anyone is on the fence regarding purchasing an Ivory M/T .... Get it! They are quite something to see in person.
I'm just trying to sell my new in box Crimson Original Kettle Premium first and if it sells within the next month I'm gonna order an ivory Mastertouch out of Canada. If it doesn't sell by the end of April the plan is to mod the Crimson with a Mastertouch black top vent and some wooden handles.
Yours looks sweet!
8" WEBER whitewalls are $8.53 each through Weber with $7.00 shipping for entire order. Comes with two axle nuts as well. Would look awesome on that Ivory.
I have a laser cutter. How about a white acrylic whitewall for your existing wheels?
@captjoe06 , Good luck with the sale!
@brewtownbeatdown , Thanks! Would you happen to have a link or a part number? No coffee yet, so my search skills are lacking at the moment.
You're certain that it would be a fit with these particular wheels?
@Uncle Al , Thanks for that! I like custom. I will keep you in mind.
@MacEggs , the part number is 63050. (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160313/7670c44d1c793f777232395f549750e8.jpg)
Thinking a white hubcap might look good with these wheels on the Ivory.
Just a heads up for all: Weber CS is getting to be a pain in the a$$, when trying to order by part number. Don't be hesitant to ask for someone more knowledgable with their system, if they say "well we need to know the grill's...to be able to order". There's one gal, can't remember her name atm, whom I automatically ask to speak to someone else.
I'll PM this to you as well.
These new style 8" wheels are beauty. Sure beats that grey disc, IMHO. Thank you
@Uncle Al !!

Those look fantastic!
Very Nice!
The new wheels look great !
Nice looking rig !
I personally hate the old plastic "Jeep tread" wheels with the spider web pockets on the inside.
At the moment I'm in the process of converting a OTG with Jeep tread wheels to solid rubber (groove tread) lawnmower wheels.
Working on the shaft spacers and will post results later.
That's bad-ass! Nice job guys
Now I know what I'm doing to the wheels if I get a newer 26. Nice work!
Wow. That look great! Were these whitewalls from Weber, or did you fabricate them,
@Uncle Al ?
Further to Bob BQ's question, do the original white walls fit the newer style wheels?
Those wheels look excellent. I may have to order them and kindly ask
@Uncle Al to laser cut the whitewall.
Wow, that looks fantastic.

MacEggs, I've been toying with the idea of ordering a M/T from Canada. If you don't mind me asking, how much was it to get it to your door here in the states?

I live in Canada, so I just went to the store and bought it. You may want to message some of the guys that have had them shipped stateside.
Here is a thread that got everyone excited:

:-[ That's what I get for posting before I've had my first cup of coffee. BTW your M/T is simply amazing!
Thanks for the link Mac!
Did up some burgers on the Ivory M/T for this evening's supper.
I'm so glad I dragged it up from the cold, dark and dungy basement. ??? Give it some light, and fresh air. 8)
I honestly cannot stop staring at it ....

That looks amazing! Is it the lighting of the pic or the new wheels. It just looks more purer or holier than before. :) :) :) ;)

@Bob BQ These were custom fabricated on a laser cutter.
@bear The old style wheel's whitewalls do not fit the new style wheels. That is what prompted firing up the laser to see what could be done about it!
Here are some pictures of the whitewalls paired up with my smoke M/T. Oh, and a before one for reference ;)

Those M/Ts are beauties! Not hijacking the thread but just wanted to mention...I'm so bummed, I contacted JCCayer to look into ordering either an ivory or spring green M/T from Canada. Turns out they're no longer shipping to the states. I reached out to fellow WKC'er mcgolden to see how he recently acquired an ivory, and he confirmed that the website no longer offers shipping to the U.S. as an option. :(
So for those of us that missed the boat, we can only hope that Weber has a similar offering in the U.S. for the very near future!
@Uncle Al , as you know how I feel .... The whitewalls make it look a thousand times better. Great comparison pics.
@the Tamale Kid , here is a pdf file. Scroll down to where the dealers are listed.
You may want to check out the dealers in British Columbia (BC), Alberta, or Saskatchewan (Regina, Saskatoon). They would be closer to your location.

Those look great. Way better than the gray for sure!
I think we have found ourselves a new popular mod for the modern Master Touch and 26 kettles. I love the treads on the new 8" tires. The previous generation 8"s (26er 2010-14 tread style) looked too cheap. I still have a soft spot for the 80s-2009 Classic whitewall 8s

I think you are absolutely correct. Looks bad ass on that Ivory and Smoke MT. We can't ignore Spring Green MT. So, I got hold of
@Uncle Al and had him send me a set for mine today.
I like to thank and give credit to
@MacEggs for envisioning something better for the stock boring gray hubcaps. Same goes for
@Uncle Al for making these up.
Weber should really look into this and make this factory stock replacement in the future.

Clairvoyant?
Looks great and nice job *Uncle Al , are you selling these? I need 2 sets for the 6" wheels
And here is the first posted picture of a 26" with "Uncle Al" white walls. Looks so much better. Thanks
@Uncle Al and of course to
@zavod44 for the high figured cedar handles.

@Red Kettle Rich ,
@Vwbuggin64 I just created a FS thread in the Member Sales & Trades forum. Hopefully my inbox can handle it ;D
