For what little it's worth -My preference is rally's with raised white letter tires and
PO2 s with redline tires. Mark

Your choice. I like both, but I also have a weakness for P01/P02s.

IMHO, your car color would look great with redlines.

My '69 has P02 wheel covers and I like the look with white stripe tires...I think raised white letter tires would not look good with P02's. Just my opinion.
The downside to P02 wheel covers is they're expensive to replace if necessary, are very heavy and stick out enough you bang your shin into them if not careful. Outside of those small concerns...they're great!

My car came with PO2s and I`ll always have a set sitting around for it. I still like the rally wheels with white letters the best!

Some people REALLY like the P02s!
Personally I think that look nice on Caprices!

I remember seeing them brand new on vettes in the late 1960's. At the time I thought they looked terrible. Now...I love the look. Looks a lot like the 1967 knock offs to me.

I have both and switch them when I get tired of the ones that are on the car. It really changes the look from sporty to classy.

Yep, I remember walking to school in the early 70's and there was a blue C3 Corvette sitting under a tarp in a driveway with just the rear showing and I remember seeing the hub caps and thinking the same thing! that car sat there for years

I prefer Redlines with my PO2s. The car next to mine is a C3 wanna be!

P02's with redlines with that maroon color would look the best IMO. Hard to go wrong with that beautiful car though
