Another cool look for 66-69 cars is red walls. In their day these were the hot look.
and even though they arent era correct for my 72 im seriously thinking about putting some on. (even at the risk of being flamed by ALL OF YOU hahaha)

I like the look of RWLs on my car because of the stock wheels
and black paint but if I ever go with larger, newer style wheels,
I'd switch to black walls. Not that I'd have a choice.

RWL on a stock wheel, blackwall on aftermarket, that's how I'd do it. In fact my buddy with a 66 has a set of rallys with the RWL out and then a set of American Racing with blackwalls out. He switches them out whenever he feels like it.
