White walls and steel wheels
 

I've recently acquired the correct steel wheels for my truck and a very nice set of P01 hubcaps. I'm curious what white wall tires members are buying and running on their trucks?

Hankook Optimo is a decent affordable white wall if you don't mind the pronounced billboard on the sidewall. Milestar also has one, but I had a less than stellar experience with their tread wear and won't buy them again. My next set will be Cooper Trendsetters.

Thanks RDrancher.

depends on how much white wall you want. Here's my '41 F*rd with 3" wide whites from Diamondback tires.

I like whitewalls as long as they're facing the inside of the truck.

Then you're probably on the wrong thread...

C10king (sp?) has a truck (or two) with wide whites. Not the super wide ones though. Personally I don't like the really wide whites on our trucks, but his are a really nice compromise. I would have no problem running them on a nice lowered truck.

Re: White walls and steel wheels
 

C10 King's are medium width, maybe 1"(?) and are from Coker. If Cooper offers a narrow whitewall, that would be a smart way to go. I think they are one of the best tire companies out there today. I can't bring myself to mount Kamahoochys on on my old GMs.

Hey Joe, don't worry. I've never seen whitewalls made for anything bigger than a 1/2t...15"

Thanks, the pictures help. Once installed I'll post some pictures before and after.

Mastercraft by Cooper. Cost less than $400. 235/75/15

Mine are Mastercraft 235/70/15. I might go 255 if I had it to do over but I do like what I bought (first pic).

Edit: my ww's are just a shade over 3/4", maybe 13/16".

Second pic is C10 King truck. Sweet. I had my wheels painted white to mimic factory look.
But after seeing this 'King' truck I painted my wheels black and like it much better.
Looks less 'busy' or less complicated with the black wheels.

Clean is the word :cool:

Thanks Larry. Those two trucks are beautiful! Were all steel wheels painted white from the factory?

Re: White walls and steel wheels
 

That's it .... a cleaner look. Thanks

Check with special-K or one of the others who would know for sure, but I think they were all white for 72.

Couple pics of mine (in progress). I believe they are 1-3/4" wide SureTracs.
