White walls

OK, say I am nuts, just toying with the idea of white walls on my red 2017 mx5.

Do whatever you want. It's your car, and you're the one driving it.

I personally wouldn't do it, but again, it's a personal choice.
 
I started driving in 1955, got out of the Navy in 1960, got a new 1960 Dodge V8 stick with white walls, damn that car was sharp and fast(by 60's stds.). Just thought I would ask my friends on 247. I know the CX 5 would be sharp in my eyes, but I really don't want to look like a ass!

Maybe 6 inch whitewalls, solid chrome wheels, Soul Red, lowered a few inches...might work
 
Would it be the wide white walls like you see on 40's/50's cars or just a thin 1" white wall strip?
 
I just did a quick and dirty photoshop with wide white walls similar to those seen in the 50s. It looked horrible (IMO of course). I think the lower profile tires and the athletic body lines of the CX-5 don't mesh with the classic white wall look. Even a thin 1" line would look out of place to my eye.

Pic attached, just for s**** and giggles:

White walls would be more at home on something like a Ford Flex, for example.
