Hot Rods Whitewall tires on AR torque thrust wheels on 40 pickup

Not a 100 % traditional truck but close, royal red metallic in color, ifs & disc brakes, any thoughts.

 

i like cookies!

 

Question? ,Statement?, buying?, selling? WHAT?

 

No on the white walls but not sure how long this will be around given IFS

 

Whitewalls are waaaaaaay overdone.

 

Whitewalls on 'mags?' No.

 

nope

 

I've gone back and forth on this one but I say NOPE.
White wall with steelies

 

Check please!

 

There's your answer.....

 

nope.

 

Personally I'm a big fan of Torque Thrust, I have them on my '39 Coupe..I would never run them with whitewalls though.
Whitewalls and mags seem to butt heads with two different styles of cars Hot Rod vs Kustom.

 

Sounds like early to mid 1960's looks to me.

Don't forget Romeo Palamides, Jim Ellison, and Tom Griffith formed what would become American Racing in 1956.

 

Redlines look good with Torq-Thrust mags.....

 

No, looks wrong to me. I know I have seen it several times, but I prefer black walls on 5 spokes and whitewalls on steel wheels.

 

Nope on the ww

 

I think this 58 would look better with black-wall out and all the markings removed by Diamond Back...

 

Just another nope here. Just doesn't look right to me. You're the final choice though.

 

My dad's answer to philosophical questions like this one was, "It's okay for who likes it".

 

Looks good to me

 

My opinion, any whitewall not OK on Torq Thrusts. Skinny whites OK on Astro Supremes.

 

Show truck stuff mostly, IMHO, back in the 50-60s. Some drag cars ifn that was all they had.

 

Hey Robert, here's something we CAN agree on

Wide whitewalls and Americans (or any period correct aftermarket wheels) are a great combo if you are going for that '60s Show Car look. The whites add a bit of elegance, polish and finish to a nicely/highly detail Rod or Custom...regardless of which period rims are used.
A little "angel hair" wouldn't hurt either.

 

Nope

 

This was over on the hot rod truck thread, looks to be what the OP is asking for. it would help if the tires filled the rear fenders but I have seen much, much, much worse.

 

I have a 41 pickup and was thinking about AR TT’s for it, but have to have black walls.
Whitewalls need steelies and caps, or full wheel covers, IMHO.

 

I remember ( I’m sure others do too) when you bought tires and were asked “ white walls in or out”?
Always in for me

 

yes for the '60s show truck look but
no to the irs and disc brakes

 

I think I will go with the blackwalls.
