[C2] Red Line or White Wall?
#1
Red Line or White Wall?
Just bought a 1964 coupe (black & red interior). It came with red line tires, which do look great with the interior. But I'm trying to decide on whether to keep the red lines or put on original white walls. What should I do, make it original or stay with the red lines? Need advice.

Well for some white walls are 80 bucks a tire vs 250 a tire for red lines.

Unless you plan on having it judged redlines on a black car will always look MUCH better! My .02

I like red-lines. Never liked whitewall tires.
I like blackwalls with a color-matched rim also.
Go with what you like-you'll be looking at it for awhile.

I know gold lines and white walls were stock and, I actually do like 'em on a white, gold, yellow or any light colored car but, to me at least, they just don't look good on a red or dark colored car hence, I still run redlines on my car even though it's been repainted back to it's original Laguna blue which, is still somewhat dark.

I like white walls myself, but red lines will look cool on your car.
