Default White Letter Tires

I am thinking on painting White Letters for my car. I dad helped me PSing these pictures of my car with the white letters, the letters are bigger than the ones that come "carved" on the tire.





Nitto White Letters





Nitto Front White Letters







Nitto White Letters Rear



This is one if I only painted the original letters on the tire:






What do you guys think? Any suggestion on how to do the real implementation?

I have to admit that when I saw the thread I thought it sounded stupid but after seeing the pics I have to say I like it.

They used to sell these "crayon" type markers for doing this. You'd have to touch them up occasionally but I kinda like the retro-look. I think it would work better visually on the S197s though.

Though I'm from the era of white lettered Uniroyal Tiger Paws,I can't say that I like it,because the lettering isn't spread around the tire,so it might look strange as the tire turns.

I don't think white lettered tires belong a modern car. But, that's just me.

I already printed the Stencils, will try to cut them later today at home, and if the weather is nice tomorrow, I might do one tire and see how it goes

Agreed, needs some balance visually.

you'll have to re-do it every now and then, paint doesn't really stick to rubber.

It's not a 2015, but I've seen it on this car... I liked it...
