"Cosmetic" question
Permalink  

My old ugly boat has 15x8 rallies on it and P225/75R-15 tires  Two of the tires wore out first, and they rub the back fender lips...  I have a new set of BFG TA and was going to mount on 15x7 rallies that I have... My survey question is white letter or black?   Does anyone have some Pontiac dog dish caps for my other set of plain black rims?    thanks  C2

I like white letters although white letters became popular around 69/70, it was redlines when you car was new.

THANKS  I bid on the hub caps   I have several sets of wheels, so I think I will mount these RWL for now... I will put the blackwalls on the plain wheels for the ultimate ugly plain sedan look....

I put a set of cragars on my 64 Impala, went over to spin the white letters to the inside-they wanted $100 do I tried them as is and loved it very nostagic, then I had some old white wall radials I put on a set of rallys with the blackwall in-I found a set of 14 inch red port o walls for $12 !

 Johnson Magwood used to cut and paint redlines for $20 each-had them on my 67 for 5 years !

On Chev style rallye's put the RWL facing out. For old skool, gloss black steelies with whitewalls and poverty caps

No fare, I thought the choice was white letters or blackwalls. I would choose redlines on from 64 to 69.

Most eBay auctions I've won were from bidding 101.01 etc...many times just the penny does it as THE highest bidder wins regardless of bid increments in the end..

And weren't those dog caps from an 80's X-car Phoenix anyway...the ones were there beauty ring is seperate but looks like a full cover when installed?.
Be sure of the inner-outside measurement where it clips onto your rim!.

And I vote blackwalls on everything unless a factory redline or white letter was available..
Whitewalls suck and it's great they have a black side!.

When I was a kid we felt sorry for the owners of black walled cars, we figured they didn't have enough money to "upgrade" to whitewalls! Times change.
