Customs White walls or Black walls?

No brainer on this one....

 

Grey spoke Americans with blackwalls,...or WWW's with what you have

 

For that car with the Olds spinners whitewall’s look the best.

 

100 people, 100 different thoughts. Do what makes you happy, you're the one paying for it.

 

Just so long as we see you at BTT50's this year with whitewalls, you can do whatever you want! LOL

 

I'll be there, but may take my 49 Buick and leave the Olds at home.

 

It depends on what tire you're looking at. Regular radial then white wall, bias looking radial (Auburn Deluxe) then you can go either.

 

Since you are getting new tires anyway grab a can of black spray paint and coat the white walls on one side of the car. Take a couple snaps and compare to see what you like best.
I suspect white walls but be careful what you buy there has been a lot of threads on white walls turning brown and creating warranty claims and costs.

 

Here is a thread with a lot of info that may be very helpful to you.

Yes, I'm a smart ***...... I know.....

 

Back in 2002 when I built the 2004 NSRA giveaway 30/31 roadster pickup I did WW tires and some commented it wasn't a hot rod with WW's. I was of a mind plain BW tires would have killed the theme of the car and I still think the same 22 years later. Your car looks *****in with WW tires. Don't ruin it with plain Jane tires.

 

I gotta say if given the choice I'd go ww

 

Buy WWs

if for some reason you don’t like em, turn em around

 

Pinners, narrow white walls match the 1962/1963 era when you bought the then new hot lick on the new cars pinner white walls. Some of the old die hards stuck with wide whtes but they were more on the line of what you see on this 61 rather than the Gangsta white walls that you see now but were already
obsolete by car guy standards.

If you look at 62/64 (time period) custom car photos A lot of the fresh customs had pinners on them .

 

WWs all the way!

 

That car deservers WW.

 

To me it all depends on era and style of build. Did the era of the car come factory with www, thinner whitewalls or blackwalls? This rod deserves www along with its slight custom vibe. That being said it’s your car, do what your gut tells you. Nice looking car!

 

The pics were a thousand words. Black walls looks like back of the used car lot where the price is the only thing written on the windshield. White walls look like front row.

 

I like a smaller whitewall, like 2". these were cut into white letter tires, or maybe a smaller whitewall tire.
with hubcaps you need whitewalls.

 

Without a doubt......... white walls.

 

100% wide white walls on that car
