Interested if anyone is running old school white ltter tires. Pics would be great.
Thx

 

Suggest you do a search under raised white letter tires We "beat this to death" probably around 1 1/2 years ago. A lot of folks were interested them and emails were sent to some manufacuturers. I think the unofficial conclusion was that maybe when/if the Camero/Challenger came out - it would justify the manufacturing costs. The only ones I've seen available are in the 15 -16" range

 

You could always get Nitto redlines, only come in one size though(fit the stock 18" wheel).

Well, you can find Goodyear Eagle GTII tires in RWL style, but with a lower speed rating than the OEM rating, which is good for max. 168 mph. I guess they're good enough for shows and/or photoshoots, but not for driving! Another issue with them is the increased sidewall height, compared to 45 or 55 on the OEM tires.

275/60TR17 (max 118 mph)

Here's the discussion thread. Some folks even posted links to white letter paint pens if you want to color in your own...

Problem with the pens is that most BW tires' lettering is not evenly spaced as say an OWL BFG Radial-TA tire has it done.

 

I use tire pens on my drag tires so I can see them spin in video

 

Could get those LED valve stem caps

 

i remember when those hit the "import scene". i just couldnt believe kids were buying them. prob made them feel like they were actually in the movie fast and the furious ahahahah

 

There used to be a colored piping insert you could get and it stuck between the tire/rim in day-glow and all those great early 90's colors like teal and hot pink a few years back.

 

The paint pen on the tires was my first mod I did to mine, I'm old school. It looked great for about 2 weeks, then chipped & stained. Didn't feel like repeating the work every 2 weeks, so haven't done it since.
Here's a pic from then.

 

Skip the white letter tires and step into the 21st century with some killa wheels!

VERY WTLW but I still get a kick out of these things.
