Well neither suit the age, style or purpose of an AU
I have whitewalls on my commodore, but i would not put them on my AU. My opinion: silly and don't do it.

If you really need to do it then red walls but to me it just seems odd.

Neither would be my opinion. Don't they wear away fairly quick anyway? What does something like this cost?

cheers for the whitewall love guys
 :maybe oneday ill get another set of stockies and whitewalls now that the car is sitting slammed : i left them behind in sydney!!anyway, IMO, if you are gonna do whitewalls, either get massive wheels and do them, or do something different and go the stockies with the BIG white walls!

neither.
buy some ticky rims and dont butcher your sidewalls with something that isnt even close to your era. whitewalls are a factory made tyre. removing part of the sidewall so its flat and painting it, is defectable, and looks horrid.
