Title: What looks better??
Post by: Dansbirds on May 19, 2009, 11:34:02 AM
Need some input. Its a silver 86 XR7. I have a set of 10 hole rims that I am going to put on and am undecided between blackwall or raised white letter.  Is there someway to search pictures on this site, I kept refreshing to change the banner but havent found pics of what I am looking for. Thanks

That sir is a very opinionated question? Pick what you like and stick with it. I like both but with the right wheel/tire combo the raised whites look so nice. Also might have something to do with the fact that when I was a kid all sports cars had raised whites or so it seemed!

How dark or light is the color of the car?  I know you said silver, but the shade may have an impact as well.  For a lighter shade I'd personally go RWL.

Ultimately it's a matter of what YOU prefer.

Same here. I love the raised letter look, thought about painting (very carefully) mine too.:mullet:

Put the RWLs out on 10 holes for sure.

Heres a pic of mine with the raised letters. I really didn't have a choice as I got the rims and tires for real cheap.

I used to have RWL tires on the 8 holes that were on the car. I have Snowflakes now and I kinda like the way the car looks with the black walls and Snowflakes better. I think RWL tires look better on 4-eyes though.

Wow, after seeing the direct comparison on Lou's car (thunderjet302), I feel I can safely say without fear of contradiction, "Either one would look great!!".

RWL look good on 10 holes. Now RWL on Snowflakes would just look silly ;)

Looks NICE! I'd have to agree that the blackwall/snowflake combo looks best though.

Shiny Side Up!
