I'm old school, I like to have them out. I also am not a fan of those 22-24" rims that fit the whole wheel well. I like to see some space between the tire and body. That's just my opion.

Which Tires?

Depends on which tire,I think the BF Goodrich has the best looking white letters followed by the Firestone Firehawks.No Goodrich tires were available here so I went with the Firehawks.I didn't like the looks of the Firehawks at first but after they were on my vette I was happy!These tires are performing beyond my expectations.The old school look with the letters out catches the eye rather nicely I think.

I'm running white letters on a black car. This combination does seem to draw a lot of looks and nice comments from car lovers.

My chosen sneakers have no white letters. I put wheels on the car today for the first time since the PO moved it last (9 years ago). They look excellent against the gray primer and on the AR Vectors. I think they'll look even better when the maroon paint goes on this fall.
