Anybody have knock off wheels whit tires with white letters?
I need to buy new tires for my car and wonder if i should buy white walls(which i have), black walls or BF Goodrich with white letters?
I have never seen white letters tires on knock off wheels before so if any here have that combination please post a picture
What product do you use to keep the white wall stripe white?

I don't like the look of white letters on knockoff wheels. Narrow whitewalls look good on your car, blackwalls look good on about any color with knockoffs, since you asked for opinions. Here's a picture of a yellow car with white letters, they seem to make the tire look uneven to me. JMO.

Since you have a red car, here's what red lines look like with knockoff's.

I have 205/75/15 white wall and i am thinkin of going for 215/70/15 to get a little lower profile on the tires
How wide tires can you put on the knock off wheels without worrying about the tires touching/damaging the fenders?

The two sizes you mention are only .2" difference in diameter.

The width of your KO wheels limits the tire width size. Probably 215 is it. Wider tires will work on your car but check to see what that tire requires for rim width. I have 225 front and 235 back but rims are 7 inch wide.

Did you notice that picture of the red coupe I posted was yours prior to you selling me your wheels and tires? I can't tell you how happy I've been with the wheels and tires. Thanks again. Jack

I've always thought that white letters, on a MOVING car. resemble a badly curb-swiped whitewall!
The sixties Goodyear blue stripes, with accompanying tiny white letters, looked cool on KOs when at rest.

I personally like the classic look of narrow whitewall tires on a C2 with knock-offs. I keep them bright & white with Brillo pads (pre-soaped steel wool pads). I think goldline tires would look good, too.
