Default WW's or B/W tires

Black wheels and black wall tires, Or light color wheels and whitewall tires?
How I solved the problem. Now it depends on wether Im going to an "A" model show, or a sat. night drive thru.
Sorry about the fuzzy pic's.

Your car, do whatever you want to do with it.

I had white walls on mine, got rid of them, completely changed the look of the truck, for the better in my opinion.

Like I said, do what you want.

And your's look's great with them Greg , and what a great pic. of it, just beautiful.
I just feel that mine with a darker color body and the black fender's,
That black wheels and B/W tires was just to much black, not ugly, but just boaring, esp. to people who are not "A" model Purest.

I liked ole Henry, He always wore a nice suit, But I sure ain't going to dress up like him when I drive my model "A" just to be Historicly [sp] correct.
To each his own, I've never seen an bad looking "A" model.

I just look at WWW and wonder how much free time is wasted keeping them clean, I have better things to do with my time.
