White letters or Blackwalls???
I'm ready for new tires (either Firestone SS20s or BFG Radial TAs) and can't decide - which do you think would look better on my car? Thanks for your vote!

I just put new T/A's on mine and went with black. Had raised white for a long time. Wanted something different. Since I have 275's on back, I probably should have done raised white with such a large sidewall. :chevy

I don't know, 68L. On the right color car, they might look good, but not sure about putting them on a blue car. :confused:

Put them on white letters out first then you can change your mind if you want
to if you do it the other way around the white letters get mucked up.
This seems to be a fad thing as I always have mine whitewalls out and just wait for that look to come back in style.

With 15" wheels, white letter is the best. With 16" I'm not sure. But with 17" or larger wheels, I think they look best with low profile tires and blackwall out.

Re: White letters or Blackwalls??? (Tex71BB)
I think it depends on the color of the car and the wheels.
Your blue with rallys would look good with white letters.
My car (white with rallys) would not. If I had the chrome wheels I would probably go with white letters.
Just my opinion.

Sorry to go against the grain here, but I personally like blackwalls on blue chrome bumper sharks. Or red-lines. On lighter color cars I prefer the white letters.
