26" with custom "Uncle Al" whitewalls
« on: July 31, 2016, 12:10:10 PM »


The laser cut whitewalls arrived late yesterday and got to put them on today. Thanks to @Uncle Al, I no longer have to look at those godawful wheel covers my 26" came with.

This makes me even more excited and motivated to get a modern 26er. Those handles, the whitewalls on those modern wheels... I love it!! Awesome setup!

I feel like this is a mod that Weber Stephen Products should take notice of. Not only does it look factory, but it looks awesome!!!! 

They should make this setup the new standard wheels for 2017.

@Troy & @Shaun

Thank you everyone for the compliments on my 26'r mod.  I can't take credit for the idea or creation.  All the credit should go to the creator, @Uncle Al for using his laser cutter and @MacEggs for posting the original question, "Does Weber make white walls for the new MT?". Here is the original thread where the idea was born:

http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/the-newer-master-touch-wheels-whitewalls/

As soon as I saw the pictures and read the thread, I knew I had to get a set. I PM'd Emmette (Uncle Al) and he made me a set for my 26". I placed the bowl and legs on a table, upside down, so I was working at a comfortable height. You just pry off those grey mini frisbee wheel covers and cut off any plastic tags left from when the wheels are poured into molds. Thoroughly clean the application area on the wheels, remove the paper tape covering the adhesive (already installed by Uncle Al) and press in place.  The mod is now done. 



I have a feeling that Uncle Al's mailbox will be blowing up with orders for these whitewalls.  Get ready Emmette (Uncle Al). I have a feeling that there will be such a demand for these whitewalls there will have to be a link and page (like for wood handles) for them on the WKC.

Both handles and white wall trims look fantastic!

Looking forward to receiving both.

Uncle Al. If you are taking orders let me know. These would look great on my 26 and my performer.

Everyone, thanks for the kind words!  I'm just as excited about them too after being able to get rid of the ugly grey wheel covers and let the real kettle beauty shine through!  My PM mailbox is pretty full and I am responding as soon as I can.   Oh, and I will have a listing up in the member sales and trades later tonight that will also include replacement whitewalls for the classic 6" & 8" wheels.  So stay tuned!
