These, see the difference?  |

It really isn't that destracting in person. They came on these cars originally, the wheelcovers were designed to be wrapped in those whitewalls.
Are you seriously telling me you think this looks better? 
From farther away it blends perfectly.  |

OK Took me long enough! The weather has been great here and I got my 77 Deville out for the first time since November!
This was my Grandfather's Car he bought it new in 77. It became mine in 1990. It's bone stock all original except for the KOOKs custom stainless exhaust.
Pix of my FWB to follow.
Your cars all look great!

Beautiful cars, both of you. might I add that they look like they just left the showroom with those correct whitewalls.  |

My Whitewalls are Goodyear Arriva's from 1989! They still have some tread and haven't rotted out! Good Year stopped making these wide whites a long time ago. I have no idea what I will replace them with but I love the wide whitewalls.
