Do you like whitewalls? if you dont, do not watch your wheels and tires in motion,...At speed they turn into a blurr and come in as whitewalls......

OUT! Without a doubt! Not on a C-4-5-6, but definately on a C-3!
Out...Out...Out...and Out.

I bought my car with these tires already mounted white letters out - I normally go black wall out...but they look pretty good this way. I'll have to rethink the look for the next set of tires though - like they said it depends on the tire - I like the Firehawk Indy 500 thing going on here

White letters highlight a plain black tire just like an emblem highlights a plain painted fender.. With that being said, white letters out!!
What looks even worse is when you can actually see the white letters on the inside of a tire..
