I voted ww's, then noticed the split in voting was 7-5-7. I think that means it would look cool no matter what.

I voted white walls. They kind of fit the shop truck theme you have. Joseph

Re: White Walls or No White Walls

I like W.W's...BUT! IMHO they only look good on a lowered truck with the right kinda wheels (see 78bronzechariot) with yours at it's current ride height I would vote B.W's

I'm a blackwall guy. But the good news is it seems most of us agree that raised white letters suck!

Re: White Walls or No White Walls

I like the white walls. If you had the beauty rings on your wheels the black walls would look better.

Re: White Walls or No White Walls

I'm not the biggest fan of white walls on the 67-72s but yours is one of the few that I do like them on. Flat black/ black satin vehicles with red rims allways make me think of the rat rod look.

If you decide to not go with the white walls, would you keep the rims red or would you go a different color? I'm just thinking out load here but I think a cream or tan color rim would look good on your truck. The factory original white would also look good.

No whites with black wheels or whites with red wheels. Either way in my opinion.

Re: White Walls or No White Walls

What about white wheels with a really narrow red or blue pinstripe around the rim and blackwalls? Just an idea.
