Default White letter tires???

Has anyone found 17" or larger raised white letter tires? How frustrating is it that the car manufactuers want to build cars with a retro look and styling, but nobody makes the white letter tire.

I have two cans of white letter paint, but I have never used it before so I have no clue how it will hold up during normal wear and tear or even a car wash.

Does any here have experience with the tire paint products?


WE NEED RAISED WHITE LETTER TIRES!!!!!!
(I can't be the only one wanting these).

I would love it they came out with some. Would def. buy some.

I tried the Paint Stick - Held up pretty well for a few months - but I never washed the tires so I don't know if they would have held up thru that. After a while they started cracking and turning yellow from dirt. A fun temporary mod though. I had plenty of compliments - even from a police officer

The white letter thing may work for some cars, like a 85' GT that I had. IDK about a modern Mustang.

They have a ton of awesome stuff, but nothing in the size the new mustangs use.

I thought about going down to a 16" wheel/tire just to get the white letters....lol. I know it sounds crazy. But I don't drive hard or corner hard, so handling isn't really the issue for me.

I thought about that too. White Letters are really an older generation thing, but I think it may be worth a shot. Maybe someone can photoshop white letter tires on? I would if I had the program.
