You asked for opinions...

I feel whitewalls have no buisness on 90% of the cars that get them, and I have NEVER seen them look good on a truck.

Re: whitewalls yes or no
 
maybe if you paint the wheels black the whitewalls would look good....but like that. no

Re: whitewalls yes or no
 
Maybe with full hubcaps, but even then the ww is too wide.

The theme of the vehicle is what dictates whether or not you use whitewalls and what kind it is.

When these trucks were new, whitewalls were just stripes...maybe 1/2 an inch. But, raised white letters, red stripe, gold stripe, and other dressy forms of whitewall were not uncommon.

If you leave the truck as it is, I vote no whitewalls.

If you go with a theme that is more retro, i.e., Fifties-style, then whitewalls MIGHT be okay.

The width you show in the second picture is not right for these trucks, expecially on a rallye wheel.

robzilla 10-05-2010 11:21 AM

Re: whitewalls yes or no
 
no whitewalls or raised white letters.

Re: whitewalls yes or no
 
White walls look good if you lower it and use different wheels

JesseH13 10-05-2010 01:10 PM

Re: whitewalls yes or no
 
personally im a big fan of white walls but that truck would look good with a dogdish hub cap and smaller white wall

Here's four that I saved. Don't know whose they are, but I like the way they look. Again, my thought is that the theme is the decider. Notice that all are lowered and none have rallye wheels. One has trim rings, another has Salt Flat wheels.

Wrong era. Your truck looks good already.

yote1234 10-05-2010 02:19 PM

Re: whitewalls yes or no

No. Those are for antiques.
