im looking for some output let me know what you'll think

jsbgump · 10-05-2010, 01:59 AM

no white walls in my opinion

scrapmetalart · 10-05-2010, 03:42 AM

the white walls will look ok if you lower it. Otherwise I like the first pic

mcmlxix · 10-05-2010, 04:56 AM

no. lower and maybe. smoothy hubcaps and lower.... that would be nice....

cdowns · 10-05-2010, 08:05 AM

with regular steelies and hubcaps ithink look good// they dont matchup too good with the rallies IMO

Longhorn Man · 10-05-2010, 09:08 AM

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.

1LoC10 · 10-05-2010, 09:12 AM

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

**lolife99** · 10-05-2010, 09:35 AM

big_al_71 · 10-05-2010, 09:38 AM

I'm with you! Though im not an old timer i do love the white walls... But not so much on this truck. Doesnt flow

ChevLoRay · 10-05-2010, 10:32 AM

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.

Zoomin · 10-05-2010, 10:12 AM

Maybe with full hubcaps, but even then the ww is too wide.

LilD · 10-05-2010, 12:39 PM

White walls look good if you lower it and use different wheels

No whitewalls or white letters. Just run blackwalls.

dubds10 · 01-03-2011, 12:32 AM

SAY NO!!! To raised white letters!!! I'd take white walls any day over raised letter. Raised letters were never nice to begin with lol

I've got skinny whites on my '72 Blazer 4x4 (came with them)...at least till I throw some 33-35s on it.
