Fixin to put 17" Torque Thrust rims on my 96 Roadmaster-metallic tan w/woodgrain.dance: Should I use raised white letter tires, or black wall? Opinions...everyones got one!
I take it you found them.Good for you.Post some pics when you get them on.As for my opinion,I like that particular wheel with black-wall but I'm sure either way she'll look great.
I found some knock offs from Showheels...the Streeter model. Just like Torque Thrust II's, accept that I can afford um, and they look great! (and fit!) Like you 1 tireman, I'm sure either would look great! But I wana look cool, with out being that guy that says "Hey, look at me, I'm cool!" Does that make sense?
A lot depends on what color the spokes of the TT's are going to be...if they're dark, I'd go with the RWL's. If the spokes are lighter colored, I'd go blackwall.
Krash, that's a great tip! I think your right. In my minds eye, rwl's make sense on a dark rim, not so much on chrome or polished. My TT's are gunmetal, so white letters it is! And 442Wagon...I found Bridgstone Duler H/T RWL's STOKE pics to follow
Yah I'm a blackwall guy, at least on stock wagons. If it was a muscle car wagon I'd do the white lettering though. But they'd look silly on this:
Like somebody has already mentioned, I would be surprised if you could find 17" rwl tires. I'd go with black. Raised white letters just do not look right on large diameter wheels. Don't do it. Especially on a later model car. It will pull the eye away from looking at those gorgeous rims and be overpowered by the sharp contrasting black and white of the tire. Just my opinion...
I like white letter, every car ive ever had white walls on , ive always taken them off and gave them away, i would rather have blackwalls than whitewalls, but thats just me
