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.
Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn't?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I've amassed a nice collection, but I'm missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

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. 
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 !!

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.

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.
