Man, I really need to wear glasses when I'm writing on here, I'm leaving words out and leaving typos all over the place. — Kind of hard to believe I write for a living isn't it?

Re: 73-87 with White Walls

Many moons ago, I had Cragar S/S wheels mounted on a set of whitewalls that I had won at a church raffle. Have to admit that the combo looked pretty sharp, IMHO. To each his own.

Re: 73-87 with White Walls

The only place I found whitewalls in 275/60-15 was diamond back, and they were really expensive...more than I wanted to pay. I think whitewalls were still pretty common in the 70's so I think they would work on a 70's square.

At some point when I get some loot, I'd like to put solid steel wheels on my truck, except in 17x7 on the front, and 17x8 on the back, and then put the stock little hubcap on...Whitewalls would look perfect...In my opinion....or maybe I just like whitewalls because so many think they are tacky and passe?

When I went to the tire store to ask for whitewalls...the dude gave me a funny stare and said, "Man...everything changes...nobody uses whitewalls anymore."
