white letter tires yes/no

[IMNCARN82]

Soooo...   I spent 4 hrs. per tire tediously painting the letters white only to have the girls at Adam's car care display at Goodguys wipe them right off.     The duplicolor pens don't work.   Thinkn of using real paint.  Or these:

They seem to be among the best. And offer a lot of choices,colors and sizes.  Including custom. And semi-permanant. 
Need to sand the tire. uhg.
Figure white?  Mmmaybe yellow ?   

Mopars at Bandimere show is coming up.

what do you think?

Seriously?  They wiped them off.     I think they look great on there and I love the classic white look.  Retro muscle at it's best.

I like them.  Looks serious

If you do go this route, I would love to see some closeup pics when done.
It seems these stickers would conflict with the existing perforations/raised markings and would have some odd "bubbles" then.

Side note, have you ever thought of a red pinstripe on your rim lip? Or is that too "hot roddy?"

  That's one cool car as-is. Still, I vote for the white classic look too. I really like @IMNCARN82 's red pinstriping idea as well, would add another dimension to the car.

For whatever the nostalgia look is worth, I believe I'll vote for the raised white lettered tires.  Thanks, Al

Guess I'll be the odd man out... Never been a fan of white letters.... Love your car, not the tire lettering....

I love the white letters, and I suggested the red pin stripe before as well.

Muscle car look IMO. I like it. 

[IMNCARN82]

Thanx for the comments.  Yea the red rim stripe is too over-done for me. Too modern of a fad.    A good look,Just not for me. Thanx Al.   And yea, There's a bunch of lines on tires these days. Most of the "tire stickers" need to have the tire sanded for optimum adhesion.  And that's where I get hung up.    I did sand some on the backside and it is pretty easy, But doing the whole sidewall !?   I'm not ready to do that just yet.  Says use a palm sander. Uhg.     Maybe get some model paint and try again with the existing letters.

RWL look nice on a static display and just scream muscle car too me.  However, when cars are in motion, the letters make em look like whitewalls, which I don't like at all.

I'm not a big fan of black sidewall and black wheels with nothing to break it up. A polished wheel lip or red line or gold line looks nice, IMO.

FWIW, the red pinstrip on the wheel lip goes all the way back to the late '70 - early '80ss. I recall seeing that on  some Fords and definitely on the white painted aftermarket truck wheels.

Hmmm, I'm thinking of a nod to the slicks era on my polyglas',

I've seen these tire stickers in person and they really look good!  You can get them to say anything, and the owners were happy with the results.  I would stick to white, no yellow.

My vote is for white staying in classic mode but I have seen some new ones in yellow that really make the car tires pop. Depends on what you want to express.

well been busy. my bro crashed his bike dirt jumping real bad. One thing after another around here.  Was scary. 

Just found some time to get these on.  After looking at a bunch of manufacturers I decided on the tire stickers brand.  They are by far the best IMO.   One of the pieces had letters falling off the backer. Really made for hassles. But I persevered.   Otherwise pretty clockwork. LOTS of time prepping the surfaces.   All in all not too bad.  I'm pretty picky and try real hard.    Tedious:   Just my style. Ha.  Got a little clean up yet.

I like them.   was too dark down there.  Makes it look like a hot wheels car to me!   

Mopars at Bandimere next weekend.    I'm comn'    and hells comn with me.
