I know there isn't going to be a huge demand for this stuff, but I will be using it on my own grills moving forward.

Man you got all the goodies going on over there!! I think there could possibly be a demand for them. Not everybody has the space or wants to buy several parts grills to make one really nice one.

There will be a slight demand when those pieces fail on people's grills and they don't want to buy a parts grill for one little part that you can't get anymore otherwise.

Absolutely 100% true

Or that part is broken on the grill they thought they got for that part. Looking good Steve!

Ok, this is the final design for the old style 6 pin whitewalls.

I just need to print some more of them now, they take an hour apiece. Let me know how many you want so I can get those out to you.

Maybe 4 of the wide whites and 4 of the regular whites. Or whatever you want to send. I can always buy more later.

Ok, some of both. I'll see what I can stuff in the box along with your wheel.

Looking forward to it! Thanks Steve!

I actually think these are better than the original ones. They are whiter than the original ones which I find pleasing to the eye. They are also thicker so they fit more flush in the wheel. Also I was able to remove the 3D printed one from the wheel without damage which was a bonus. I still don't recommend doing that and can't see a real reason to do so. Don't put the whitewalls on until you have the wheel totally clean and/or painted just to be safe. They also fit very snugly so they shouldn't ever come loose or pop off.

Well, I've got a little bit of stock built up on these wide whitewalls as well as the regular ones. I'm going to be shipping some of both to @Josh Dekubber this week. If anyone else wants these let me know. I will soon just put them up for sale on Etsy or eBay for more money than I will do here for the time being.

Those look great Steve. It’s going to be a while before I get at any grill work. But pencil me in for three sets! I gotta have those for my 1, 2, and OG brown head I’ll be doing over the winter.

Whenever you're ready, I just ordered shipping envelopes to mail these out and already have a couple of firm orders for them.

I'm looking forward to receiving them for review. I have no doubt they will be amazing!
Do you have them listed for sale somewhere?
