whitewalls
Pale-banded rubber rings
Whitewalls are tires with a white stripe or band on the sidewall, popular on American cars from the 1930s through the 1970s.
The style suggests vintage elegance or deliberate retro styling: His lowrider rolled on gleaming whitewalls.
The term also refers to a close-cropped haircut where the sides are shaved to the skin, leaving white scalp visible above the ears.
