Raised White Letters - In or Out?
I'm going to purchase new 245/60R15's for my 79. I'll replace them with the same Dunlop GT Qualifier's that I have now. My question is what would look best on a black/black car with mirrored t-tops? Raised white letters in or out? I still have the factory aluminum slotted rims with aluminum knock off type center caps. Any pictures out there to judge the decision on?

I had them at first on my ’74. I had BFG’s with Centerlines. Then I stepped up to some AR TT2’s. I like both looks; it just depends on what kind of look you want. I believe the new look is to go without the white lettering. Since I changed the paint job and body work, I wanted to go with a new look and black walls were just the thing to make the switch.

if you decide on in, use tire black so the white letters can't be seen.
