I had a chance when changing tires over to look at both




One thing I will say is if you have two different size tires they white letter will be different spacing to the rim (these were a set of 235 and a set of 275 in that picture and you can see the space difference)

My 2015 Ram 1500 is Bright White clear coat and it is really clean but my C5 is navy blue but it the right light it might look royal purple or even show some reddish tint. I guess my fav is the C5.

IMO.... The RWL tires look best with stock rally wheel sets and 'styled' wheels. White-wall tires look good with P02 wheel covers. Both types of wheels look good with colored thin-stripe tires.
