I like the redlines. We had78 Pace Car Wheels on our 68 Convertible with small wide oval RWL
Clean them with Westleys Bleache White, never had yellowing problems
Here is a VERY Quick photoshop of your car with them

Redlines all the way. I had RWL back in the seventies and went with blackwalls after that and redlines last year. Your car looks great with the redlines and I love the way mine looks now. I bought my car in 1971 but I've wanted redlines since the eighties.

I vote redlines...you can make them yourself with Tirestickers redline kit for a fraction of the cost of the overpriced tires and put them on the performance tire you want. I wanted a specific rim style which is only available in 15 inch but not in the speed rating I want. The selection around here is pretty slim and no one will mount tires that they didnt sell you...
Beautiful car! Definitively the redlines. One thing to consider is to go with an aftermarket 17 inch wheel and redlines if you don't care about it looking stock/original. It would give you a lot rubber on the ground. I had a set on my L71 retromod a few year's back:
Since Copper Jimmy has not replied to our suggestions, I decided to do a count for reply preferences:
Redlines: 16
RWL: 0
So, there you go CJ - you'd better buy the redlines... or else!
Apologies for the lack of response. Appreciate everyone’s points of view. I’ve landed on redlines with 255/60’s for the rears and 245/60’s up front for my everyday driving. Going to purchase an extra set of wheels so that I have the option of original sized tires for shows. Thanks again for all of your input👍
