[Chevelle-list] RWL or blackwalls???
Im sure this question has been asked before on the list but I havent seen it since I joined, so dont throw thinks at me for asking. I have BF Goodrich tires on the rear and need to purchase to new ones for the front. My question is, what does everyone on the list prefer, the Raised White Letters showing or black walls? My car is a 69 Chevelle. If any one has a photo of the RWL showing I would like to see it. Thanks. Craig 69SS

Re: [Chevelle-list] RWL or blackwalls???
Craig, this really is a personal preference situation. What do you like? Raised letters were very popular in those days. Most generally, I prefer black walls but the curbs in Texas are massive and raised letters are easily torn up. Try em both ways, they will balance either way.

Re: [Chevelle-list] RWL or blackwalls???
Depends on the car for me. If the car looks like a race car, blackwall definitely. If it looks like mean street muscle, usually RWL.

Re: Re:[Chevelle-list] RWL or blackwalls???
I like RWL tires on Chevy rally wheels. I have 15 x 8's on the back, 15 x 7's on the front, with BFG white letter tires. I watch the curbs, so they are not scuffed up. I think this IS the correct look for a 60's musclecar, so don't mind the dating issue at all. In another application, like a new car, Iprobably wouldnot use RWL tires.

Of course everyone has differnt ideas about which tire looks the best. I had Chrome 16 X 7 Ralley wheels on my '65 and loved them. It gave it a classic look with a modern flare.

Re: [Chevelle-list] RWL or blackwalls???
Pete, I'm with you. A lot of the selection depends on the type of rims. Polished Centerlines - call for blackwalls, factory steel rims with dog dish caps - blackwalls. Aftermarket, aluminum rims = blackwalls. Corvette rally wheels - B.F.
