White walls or no white walls?

I am looking at tire types for my 62 Galaxie and I want some opinions. I want to run Spyder caps and trim rings on steel wheels. The car will be dark blue and the wheels will be body color or black. I am trying to decide if blackwalls or thin whites will look better. Body color or black wheels? Does anyone have pics of this setup? These are my wheels now.

 

Drag car look or cruiser look? Unless you are shooting for a hard core drag car look I'd run white walls. But proper for that year of car and not real wide ones.

 

i run thin wall whites on my 63 galaxies

 

Your Galaxie deserves thin white walls.

 

definately thin white walls.

 

It will definitely be a cruiser. It is lowered 2" and much of the trim will be left off.

 

Thin was in in 62-63 followed by chrome reversed wheels and black walls with raised white or gold letters.

 

skinny whites with astros man.....crap now i want a galaxie!

 

what about some white letter tires???? Might look good but i also agree with skinny whites

 

Yep, what they said...Skinny whites.

 

here is my 63

 

Seriously!

 

Skinny whites!...

I've always liked this '63-1/2





Jeff Meyers' car is another good example with Astros
(sorry about the crappy pic)

white walls

 

I love the galaxys.... pinners and supremes or cragars.... if you gunna stay with steel wheels, chrome or black pinners will be cool on that too...

 

Pinstripe whites.

 

thin whites dude! 60's cars look the best with thin whites in my opinion.

 

White walls will make almost any car look better.

 

Skinny whites and body-color wheels! Or Astros...love that look!

 

another for skinny whites

 

every day there is a post about someone who wants to know what tires to put on his car. the answer is the same for all of you.. put the tires on that you think look best

 

White walls for sure.

 

Go with Red lines upgrade by a couple of years

 

Even in '62 only retards and old people ran whitewalls.

Huh?

 

Skinny whites, and few more lug nuts.

 

I was there , which category do you fit in?

 

Well I was 6 and was running them on my Huffy! Guess that pretty much answers the question in your eyes...

 

Thin Whites, hands down.

 

i was there everyone ran white walls with black wheels except racing tires i think body colored wheels suck.
earl shieb allways painted the wheels along with the car i always said dont paint the wheels
