There's a member here (username is slipping my mind) with a badass looking 4.0 with the white lettered tires. Gives it a great retro look

So bleach will do with without making them turn yellow?

Get like a bleach pen or something?
The bleach can't damage the tire can it?

I remember back when I was first mocking up some vector graphics for possible styling designs for my car, I was seriously considering some white-letter sidewalls on some classic centerline wheels. Here is an old pic I mocked up of it. I still think it would look cool! I LOVE these centerline wheels!!!

I had tried the 'Tire Pen RWL' on mine as my first mod. Looked great for about 2 weeks, then not so much. Cracked & yellowed. I didn't have the time to redo every 2 weeks or so, so back to black for me.
Attached pic of mine when new with white-lettered tires & current.

Bleach will not make white letters...... My comment was concerning the "make your own" white lettering sticks of various types. Never found one that didn't turn yellow fast.....then, it was clean them off the tire and redo them. If you just went over them again, the color got crappier......

Been some time since I messed with them so things might have changed but I still would not bother myself...
