Hot Rods New Look for Coupe

Ok......I ditched the whitewalls in favor of a new set of Coker Cl***ic blackwalls. I wanted a different look and also they are more freeway friendly... Next step is to get a set of 42 Merc Hubcaps

 

I'm more partial to the whitewall look, but they're both cl***ic and the car looks great both ways.

 

I like! Ya gonna have it at gnrs?

 

That looks sweet

 

Looks good. I think black walls look more cl***ic.

 

Perfect .....

I like the look. What sizes are they?

Thanks.

Daniel

 

Way better.

 

Any before pictures?

 

look at his avatar

 

Check out his avatar.

BTW, looks awesome!

 

fronts are 5:50 x16 and rears are 7:50 x 16. i had 15" rims in front before so i had Wheel Vintiques make a set of 16" rims for the front.

 

Perfect! I'm sick of seeing whitewalls. Even on my coupe. Your coupe now has the cl***ic look of tough s o' *****. Whitewalls kind of had a girlie flavor.

 

I really like the cl***ic white wall look, but the drivability ****s. I cant believe that ****er cant make those bias ply tires more drivable since they were used for some 50 years. I too am about to ditch my white walls and those that you got may be a good alternative.

 

Perfect! Can we get a closeup or two?

 

Here ya go...... I had put a set of these on 32gals Roadster and liked em so much thats what got me to do the coupe.

 

looks better! anyone wanna get rid of some 16 inch whitewalls ,let me know

 

I like it. Now paint the car yellow and go after that black 55 Chevy. Just kidding about paint.

 

Very nice! I like to black sidewalls look.

Are they that much better to drive over the biasply's? Do you only notice a difference on the higher speeds or any speed?
I like the look of the tires and am suprised none of the "Purists" arent chiming in with comments.
The new ones you have are radials? Either way, I like them, they look great and so does your coupe! On top of the frame is great to see.

 

Cruzr has been wanting to do this ever since i got mine on the 32

 

Very nice. I love the look. I too would love to upate the look of my coupe and ditch the whitewalls

 

A very positive move. Don't look back.

Very nice, gives the coupe a more aggressive look.

Yea the difference is night and day over bias plys. On the freeway they glide right over the grooves and i can drive a lot faster now and feel safe. They also stop quicker.

 

Mean and nasty...not soft and fluffy!

 

I'll take all the left-over bias whitewalls..........

 

Both are very nice but I will have to go with the black wall look .
Has that bad *** look !

Haha, the pictures were pretty much side by side and I somehow missed it.

 

Now you're talkin'.......I like the blackwall vibe on your coo-pay there, Randy!

I sure hope you like the ride better.......ulp!
