Tire / wheel choice can completely change the looks and demeanor for the car. Case in point. I'll add. To ME personally. Body color steel wheels and beenie hubcaps are Blah on most cars I am giving thoughts to change mine out with either some old school Cragers or maybe polished Torque Thrusts. BUT storage for the spare tires/wheels is a deterrent for me. Great illustrations on different sidewalls!

Black wall tires are my choice. Less distraction IMO. On certain '69 back, cars, I like redlines. I had a set on my '69 300 'vert.

Really varies for me. Factory wheels such as Rallye, Magnum 500 and road wheels, I typically prefer white letters, especially On Polyglas tires. Torque thrust, black Cragars raised white or black, really depends on the color of the car. Keystone Klassics - Black, the white letter distracts from the wheels. I do like white outlined letters on tires, but you don’t see them very often anymore. They will work with most aftermarket wheels and colors, more of an accent since they aren’t as bold as a full white letter.

steel wheels/blackwalls full wheel covers/whitewalls any other wheel/white letters Forgot to add, no white letters on luxury cars. White letters on a New Yorker or Imperial (or Lincoln or Cadillac, for that matter) look hideous. I do like me some redlines on certain cars/wheels. Agree, agree, and agree. 3 for 3, Mister, well done!

To this day the Formua 1 Superstock bias ply tires brings back memories of sexy cars and a healthy car hobby in full swing. Even if a youngster's car had a low performing V8- the addition of Formua 1 tires on some Cragar SSTs or slotted mags or American Racing Outlaws were the things a young man dreamt of! Even when the N 50x15s stuck out too far due to back space ignorance- it still was a thing of beauty.
Keep old mopars alive.

Sounds like you need some Quicktime pros on that thing , or let up on the throttle once in a while ... F.A.S.T. guys are looking for those tires so if they aren't too old sell them
