Reverse the tires and use black rubber paint to black out the whitewall so you don't see it on the inside.  Goodbye girly-man!  :P

Peter:

It's easier to put on a dress than change the white walls...after all we are all enlightened and full of equality so new threads should not be a problem for you...maybe basic black or perhaps a pastel outfit to match the car would do nicely.

i used to like the white walls when they had had aged patina but those weren't safe!  now it just looks too "new"
