I'll add. To ME personally. Body color steel wheels and beenie hubcaps are Blah puke 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!

White letters on painted steel wheels on 1970 and later like the factory did it looks best for me.
Black walls, or redlines, on 1969 and earlier cars.
Mag wheels it can go either way depending on the rim design, type of body style, color of the car ect.
If the car has newer billet/machined type wheels I tend to go with blackwalls.
If we are talking Keystones, Cragar SS ect. then white letters seem to belong with those older wheel designs better.

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.

Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

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.

Well the good thing is you lived in NH so you know how to handle it . Sounds like you need some Quicktime pros on that thing , or let up on the throttle once in a while ... drive

F.A.S.T. guys are looking for those tires so if they aren't too old sell them

I’m a fan of the white letters…but mostly on older vehicles.
