Here is a perfect example. What is the first thing your eyes are drawn too?

Its a beautiful car but I find the white walls distracting. Just my opinion and schooling.
Heres one for comparison. You take in the whole car not just look at the whitewalls.

And some more examples...

And I'm only 40!!!
Save the whitewalls for your 56 Cadillac!!!

From that perspective you bring a valid point.

They do draw your eyes away from the rest of the vehicle. For me it is part of the package, I like 'em, I put them on my Motorcycles as well, but I do understand your point completely.

I like the looks on my Roadster.
The side mount tire covers toned down the effect just enough.

When I bought my restored Town Sedan about 6 years ago, it came with blackwalls on it, and I seriously considered changing them to whitewalls at the time. But a fellow Model A club member talked me out of it, saying to keep it original looking. I just bought new tires, and went to blackwall Goodyears. I am happy with my decision, but also feel that many Model A's certainly look nice with whitewalls, so to each, his own.............I am 68.
