Painted tire lettering?

[BoxDriver86]

Wondering what you folks think about this. I have the paint to white out the lettering of the tires on my BBS RZs...but I'm not sure if it will be a little too "race car" for me. Overall, I like a classy look so this may be too motorsport.

What are your thoughts?

Depends on your car. And the tire.

Good point...
The car:

The wheels:


Tires are 215/45/16 Falken 912s.

I had white lettering on my old autocross slicks and got a kick out of it. I'm just not sure if I want to do it to my daily.

I love it, and painted mine white with the pen. But all the time was really a waste cause DD'ing it, they rub off very quickly. At least that was my experience.

Dear lord I want those old bi turbo wheels. And do white lettering, would look awesome with your black car.

And I cannot buy your old bi turbos if you try to PM me. My brakes are too big to fit them =(

Find some tires with white letter from the factory. But you options will be limited, mostly to American tires.
I think my next set will be some white-letter BFG Radials

The car can pull it off with a little more drop in the rear. The wheels....not so much.

raised white letters was the "thing" back in the '70s, '80s, and even early '90s. Now it's considered redneck.
