Title: Weber Wheel Whitewalls
Post by: Babekyu on October 17, 2021, 04:00:24 AM
Say Weber Wheel Whitewalls 10 times fast, haha.  Over time, the whitewalls on my Weber kettle wheels became brittle and began cracking off in little bits and pieces.  I finally got tired of it and picked the rest of the plastic off so now I am running blackwall wheels.  I've been in touch with Weber customer service over the past day or two and they will not sell replacement whitewalls.  If I want new, I have to purchase the wheels also.  Can anyone source just the whitewalls?

Thank you.

Whitewalls are so yesterday! Black wheels matter! The wheels on my '79 Happy Cooker are all black. The whitewall chipped off, so they were painted high gloss black.

I received my wheel inserts today, courtesy of Chuck's Inserts.  They look and fit great.

Picked up another set of inserts from Chuck for my new to me Weber Performer.  Sometimes it's the little things that bring so much joy.

I LOVE my Chuck's!  He made a pair of 70th Anniversary inserts for me. They look even better with the red cap. I also have his Weber sign and kettle scraper.

I like those white walls!  Looks stunning along with the blue of the kettle.

Thank you.

Yeah, we get the wheels with the whitewalls pre-installed from the supplier, so unfortunately we do not have just the whitewalls available separately for purchase/replacement. Looks like you found a great other option though! #IworkforWeber
