All black vs White walls

[Flyair]

Garry is right that it is difficult to keep the white parts clean, but once it's done the car looks really great. I prefer the narrower ones though. They are discrete and I find them more elegant.
But... that's quite personal view.
Tastes are not negotiable

Definitely the hardest part of the car to keep clean  , I have the narrow ones and awhile ago wrote for some advice on cleaning them  .
She wouldn't look or be happy without them.

A method I use for keeping the white wall tire strip
white (and not yellowish or dirty) is by means of scrubbing
with steel wool that has some soap in it, then rinse off
with water right away

I will try that once I get the soft top fixed. 

Thank you Hans,

Heres a pic I came across somewhere on the net (member perhaps)

I think the whitewalls look pretty good, car looks sexy

Thoughts?? are we getting out of the bounds of originality?
