Default White lettered 18s or 20s??


Just curious as to whether anybody has seen some raised, solid white lettered tires on the market yet for the 18s & 20s?? I think that would look sweeet, old school!

I have always liked the white raised letters on my tires however I dont think that they would look right on the Challenger. Unless may be you went with some old school Cragar SS's or something equal to them. My choice would be some sweet ZR1's with white letters raised on some old fashioned Keystone Klassics, or may be some Centerlines.

I agree with them looking good on 18's.. meatier tires and some RWL..
but with 20's there is hardly enough room..

Actually, I did paint the word Goodyear on the rear tires of my old man's Maverick when I was in high school using white Testor's model paint and a model brush. In those days, just the outline of the word Goodyear was raised, so it was fairly simple to fill in the inner depression of each letter with the paint. I then took a toothpick dipped in paint and very carefully went over the outer, raised portion. I didn't do the front tires, though, since he'd hit a curb and messed up the raised parts of some of the letters. Actually, from more than three or four feet away, you couldn't tell that the lettering wasn't factory.

Done correctly they would look really nice on 18s and 20s. And on factory wheels no doubt.
