Are you as tired of Wide White's as I am ??

Whitewalls for mid-50's and up look. Blackwalls for mid-50's and older.
I like 'em BOTH!!!

 

I think it depends on the car. IMO my 40 looks good with the white walls, but the 32 looks best with black walls. Its like anything, do what you like.

I'm with Tommy,,,HRP

 

I picked up a couple wheel and tires from a guy running Dirt track racing. Super wide and light silver painted rim with WIDE tires. The smaller of the two was 29 inches in Diameter, and all of 18 wide. the other which is now a cool coffee table is 33 inches in diameter, and at least 30 inches wide with little square lugs and white good year lettering. I wonder how far down the road I'd get with those on a open wheel T or Deuce? They were lighter than just about any tire I had ever handled as well. Has anybody tried open wheels with fat tires all around?

 

You better hope it don't rain when on the highway You will be like a beach ball in the ocean..........

 

NO im not

 

...just wouldn't be the same with wide whites...

 

What's the size ?

 

My 5 window doesn't look nearly as cool (to me) with blackwalls.

My Dad's 3 window looks killer in blackwalls. It looked great with my whitewalls. One of these days I am going to get him some blackwall 'stones, and then it will completely RULE!

My cabrio is getting blackwalls I think. I've got plenty of time to decide, but this week ( ) I think blackwalls. FWIW, most of the open wheel cars I am designing at the moment are getting blackwalls too. Start of a new trend? Maybe. More of an evolution and refinement of my own design aesthetic and build style, speaking for me personally.

 

Can't go wrong either way... but I must agree with what Django says "My 5 window doesn't look nearly as cool (to me) with blackwalls".

I think it depends on what the car looks like ..paint wise ...

 

Gotta have both

 

With the price of WWW, I can hardly say I am tired of them since I can practically buy a set of skinny whites for my Galaxie at one of the discount houses for the price of one WWW radial. WWW are nice and it really depends on what you are going to put them on.

I think this question is more of a symptom of Traditional Burnout than taste. I have seen this developing on the board, this is like the ho-hum at***ude towards the SBC and red wheels. Could it be the beginning of the shake out that everyone has been prophesizing about?

 

What ever "turns yer crank!!"

It's like asking, "How high, is HIGH!"

 

only tired of cleaning them.. its all in what era you want your call to look like. nothing better then a black on black on black hotrod thou

 

Uh.....





















































no.

 

Hell, I'm just tired...

 

I agree with those who said it depends on the car.

A custom has to have some sort of whitewalls. Either wide whites or skinny whites. I don't think I've ever seen a traditional custom or bellflower style custom that looked good with blackwalls. The customs below would not look right without whitewalls.

A 60's style show rod like the T below also has to have the whitewalls. But on some hot rods whitewalls seem to distract my eyes from the overall car. It's like the whitewalls draw your attention right to them and you don't see the car as a whole if that makes any sense.The Hot Rods running blackwalls below would have that effect if they were running whitewalls.

I've been studying a lot of old pictures lately trying to decide the look for my '34 sedan. It seems that the Hot rods used strictly for the dry lakes or drag racing tended to have blackwalls. I would imagine thats due to the fact that whitewalls cost more and didn't make them go faster. Those cars to me have that sinister look to them.

So I guess that's a long drawn out explanation to say I like them both.

 

Now thats bad ***. I personally like black with black wheels. But it just depends.

 

I like both, depends on what your going for.

 

My car looked good with black walls when it had Magum rims and dumped in the front, now with skirts, Lancer hubcaps and tail draging, its screaming for WWW

 

Boones is my friend...

 

I'm tired of tires altogether. There has to be a better way...

 

Here is an option put some WWW on this puppy

 

One big one? heheh

 

heres what im gonna run. It came with them already but i think they look cool, all business. Maybe when its all finished and painted i would go with whites though?

 

No.

 

How 'bout blackwalls on the Right (conservative) side and wide whitewalls on the Left (liberal) side. That way no matter how you look at it, it will be politically correct.

 

Id put whitewalls on everything if i could afford it, even my lawn mower

 

Hahaha, I DID paint whitewalls on my utility cart for the garden. I HAD to, it was flat black! hahahaha.
