Hot Rods White wall tires or not

Almost ready to hit the road with this project looking for opinions on tires black wall or white wall to me it changes the look a lot my family is split so just wondering what ya all think View attachment 3735930 View attachment 3735930

 

Which look do YOU like...it is your car. If the majority says run red walls what then?

 

Black walls.... for sure... I'm running black walls on my 36 3w... I like the bottom picture... just my 2 cents worth. In then end it's what you like...

 

I like both and I will of course run what I like still wondering what others like

 

Black walls

 

I like the blackwalls as well. Although I'd like to see the whitewalls with black wheels.

Neat car...

 

Yes either way it will have black rims

 

BLACK WALLS

 

Whitewalls

 

I like whitewalls but the rear wheels are too wide. HRP

 

black walls look good with color on the wheels, whitewalls look ok with black wheels.

Blackwalls on black wheels...kind of dark.

Whitewalls on red rims...too busy.

 

Whitewalls. Full caps.

 

Here is a different view for you, drop the trim rings and run the hub caps either with black walls or white walls. Just trying to add to your decision making. Very Nice Car either way you go.

 

WIDE WHITES ..... look at my avatar ... WOKE THE CAR UP !!!

 

WHITE WALLS......LIKE THE DAYS OF OLD...1940-1955

 

Both look great, but I think that white walls on the black wheel might look awesome.

 

Whites & chrome reverse!

 

Personally I like the whitewalls on the red wheels. And as HRP said, I think the rear wheels are too wide. But, I like that car, either way it looks good!

 

Whitewalls on black rims.

 

I like both white and black walls on your car, what I don't care for is wheel color, as Squirrel pointed out.
Why is it, when someone posts a thread asking honest opinions of us there is at least one person that doesn't get it. They always say something like, "its your car, do what you want". If they knew what they wanted to do they wouldn't be asking for our opinion now would they.
Nice car by the way!

 

I would just like to say, that I love your coupe. I also like changing my wheels and tires all the time. You can have a different look with the same Rod, and it's very easy. And it looks as if you have both sets already anyway. I'd get a set of gray spoke mags and some chrome reverse with W.W.s yet. And then just change them when ever, for another look.. But hay that's just me. Ron...

 

white,silver painted wheels ....................

 

Let's see. White on a black wheel. White on a silver wheel. Black on a black wheel. And black on a red wheel. Rotate often for some variety in life. 8^ Jack E/NJ

 

Do both... Whites on one side black on the other. Can't see both sides at the same time. Just make sure the rears are within a 1/4-1/2" same circumference.

PS. I like the white

 

I asked the same question several years ago for my roadster and got a split response. I kept the black walls because I liked it better. ( I always thought the photo shopped pic with the whitewalls made my car look like it was wearing tennis shoes ) You should do what you like best. I'd stay with the blackwalls on your car, I think Wide Whites are better looking on a fat fendered 30s or a later 40s or 50s car. My opinion only

 

No poll? I like them both, but prefer the black walls on that car. Gives it a more serious hot rod look. The white walls look a bit cartoonish.

 

Black walls.

 

To me, the white walls offer more class while the black wall tires offer a more domineering look.

You have a tough choice to make. Either way is a good choice.

 

I totally agree the back wheels on the white walls are to wide the black walls are the same size tire just on a narrower rim it fits the wheel wells much better

 

I prefer the black wall tires on that car.
