When we bought "BIGBRRD" it was wearing Cooper Cobras.  I don't know how long the car had been sitting before we bought it but all four tires had flat-spotted so needed to be replaced.  I know it is boring looking at so many cars with BFG T/As but they do look good. 
 
I couldn't get RWL in a 16" T/A when I switched "The Toy" over from 15s, but not having RWL looks better on those wheels IMO (click on the image in my signature to see what they look like).

No matter your decision I think the white letters will look great against the your white car. How about doing us a favor?

Once you buy your new tires post up why you chose them and what you like or dislike about them. maybe we can learn something new from your experience.
