Painted White Tire Lettering

wdkwang · 03-11-2011, 06:37 AM

I've noticed that many american muscles and jeeps have those white lettering of the brand on the wheels, but never on a jdm car unless it's a straight up track car.
i've always thought about doing this project:
Painted Tire Lettering (GT Style) - Team Integra

what do you guys think? stupid or worth a go?

Do it, if it looks good I might do the same

BalanBro · 03-11-2011, 10:16 AM

I always like how they look spinning. Still need to see with low profile tires though.

might look silly if your z isnt completley tracked out.

To me.... it looks too "80ish". Heck with painted lettering on the tires, all you need now is a T-roof, a cowboy hat, and a vanity license plate that says "BANDIT".

A little too NASCAR for me.

hey Alex, maybe I should paint the V12's, lol

just get a couple of paint pens. If it doesn't look right, just paint it black.

I did this to my old Gixxer I liked it. I dunno how it would look on a mostly stock Z though.

cheshirecat · 03-11-2011, 12:31 PM

Yeah- I did this to my CBR. Very common in the sportbike world.

kenchan · 03-11-2011, 12:50 PM

but yah, if it's a track car go for it!

Looks cool on a race car with a pretty bare sidewall, but I wouldn't do it on the street.
