Before RWL it was stripes only

IMO -Using white letter tires and reversing them so the letters are "inside" :rofl: instead of outside is just the wrong look. Nope not going to post more pictures.:D
 
You're going to pay more for white letter tires, lesser quality than available in black only tires. (DONT buy T/A radials!)
As said above, your car will look great, either way. Your opinion is the one that matters.
That said, I think I would put white letters out on your car, even though I have whites inside on two of mine.
(Great wheel choice too, btw)
 
@go-fish, the wheel and tire combination looks fantastic with the white lettering, may I ask about the dimensions? :-)
225/60-15 and 255/60-15. On the front you have to max out that fender rod or lengthen it. Suspension settings may help a little.
 
I never advertise for anybody, unless there's help coming my way.
I am the same way. I can't really grind the brand name off of the tires for safety reasons, but I machine off logos, weld up machined logos and black beauty blast for that as cast look as needed. I special order my parts minus their logos when possible. I special ordered my original Kirkey seat covers minus their big ole embroidered logo in the head rests also. I have since made new seat covers to match the rear seat to look more like the original bucket seats.

My opinion is if the tires are well known/popular (BF Goodrich, Goodyear, Cooper, etc...) the white letters are out. If the tires are not as well known/popular (in my case Mastercraft) the white letters are in. Also, if the tires are different manufacturers, front to rear, the letters are in.

I had raised whites and as they aged ,like 2 years, the letters began to not come clean even with using tire cleaner for raised whites. The white letters turned an off color white so I reversed all my tires to Black wall.

Your car looks awesome with black walls out. And I’m a guy who prefers white letters most of the time.
 
RWL out until they get dingey then turn 'em in. Or, do RWL out on one side and letters in on the other. I'm willing to bet nobody notices.
