I'd guess that the majority of the people participating on this board, not all, probably grew up in an era when most sporty cars had white walls (late forties, fifties, sixties). If we had a car that didn't, we either painted them on or added those rubber deals that fit under the edge of the rim. Younger people have grown up with cars that never had black walls, so they have a different idea of what a car should look like, or what is "cool."
