Re: So I ordered new mickey thompson tires ? Letters out ? Or blackwall ?

I agree sport wheels and RWL go hand in hand (although no letters looks cleaner). But,you have to look at the complete picture. No sporty racy vehicle ever came with white painted hubcaps,grille,bumper,and 6cyl/3spd. The shop truck,in it's true and actual use,was a utility vehicle for the shop. They couldn't help but put a few cool touches on their work horse,since a speed shop was owned by the motor head of motor heads type. But,their focus was on the hot rods/high performance vehicles and that was where the money went and where they sat when they wanted to get wild. I don't see too much black with blackwalls on a black truck. All tires are black,so they are just there...and the white trim with lettering breaks it up and gives the eye enough details to fix on
