Maxxis, a tire company from Taiwan, makes a 3/4" whitewall in the 205 size.

I can't find anyone who makes a whitewall in the 215 size.

And the coolest tire I have found is the Vredestein Sprint Classic which are about $250 each, but only in blackwall.

So, 1) are you considering a whitewall tire, and if yes 2) have you found one?
It’s totally personal preference but we’ve found the Michelin XWX 215/70-15 to be about the best looking tire and best performer on the market! Its not a white wall but it’s profile and tread pattern look “right” and I think you’d find it’s what most original owners use on their cars.
