George ,
I like them both , AND , the fact that an " A " is on the road being enjoyed . Go with what ever trip's you trigger , and don't worry about others opinions about white walls , because that is one subject that is always going to be expressed . pro & con .

Nice pickup. Definitely looks better in the 'after' photo I like the '35 wheel combo better than what was on the truck in the first picture. And, although not a proponent of whitewalls they do look good on your vehicle.

Different body colors and body styles look better with blackwalls or whitewalls depends on what you are working with.

I like the first picture better, but I also like the second one. Its amazing how the whole character of the truck changes with just the tire/wheel change.
Its cool that you can change it back and forth, just depending on what mood you are in that day.
Thanks for sharing the pics.

I could not agree more. I do like it with the white walls the best, but I like it with black walls also.
