the whitewall is an aftemarket thing I would think, I've seen it done at camperjam to your existing tyres.

You're after 185(80)R X 14C load=99+ , speed rating C.
must be 8 ply or reinforced.

here's a link to ones I found using that information above from E-tyres..tyres
AGG 2.0L 8V. (Golf GTi MkIII)

I did a bit of research into finding suitable whitewalls for my bus. If you want 'real' whitewalls then your looking at 180 euros each for brand new Barum Vanis with a 40mm whitewall band. These are made with a chemical process, not by fitting/painting white rubber on the existing sidewall. It's done by a company in Germany. Bit too pricey for me though! If you decide to go down the painting route, best not to do it to brand new tyres as it makes the rubber paint go brown. I'm still researching this though as I found out the JK flaps I have fitted are not exactly legal here in Germany. (but I'm just a thick Scottish bloke who doesn't know better till they tell me off for them! )
