tread wear white letter tires--PICS!

[KB Viper]

i've always been interested in white letter tires for a performance car and found this place online and wa la. i definitely could have done a better job on the install, super glue can get awful tricky.

I think it looks good with the white stripes. Do you think they'll hold up during use and weather?

With the industrial strength rubber super glue I can't imagine them coming off. Check out the link to their website, I posted it in my original post. This is a legit product.

There was discussion about this lately. Whether people liked it or not. I actually dig it. I think it came out well. I didn't know you had to super glue them on though. I thought they came with their own adhesive backing.

Did you take any pics of install? Or rather, have someone take pics?

I like the look. Particularly on a "clean" looking car like yours. I think you could even de-badge the GTS of you wanted for a really sleek look. Either way, I like them.

thanks, i like it too and believe me at this point there is no way to remove them. i didn't take any install pics. here is the video i watched in order to get the process down.

I like it! They need to do the ACR logo in special section. Would be all over that!

[ViperSmith]

I wanted to hate it but works on your car

[Propsail]

That super glue looks like a royal PITA. They need to come up with some kind of adhesive backing

[timberwolf]

I got these too but have been hesitating. Did you sand your tire down before adhering the decals?

[timberwolf]

Here I just laid them on. I'd only do the small Pirelli decal 11504

[Sub Driver]

Definitely not a fan of this fad.

[lochnessmonster]

I'm not sure they would "work" with my car. I do like the one's pictured here, but the white of the logo goes with the white car, or the black car with white stripes. I think it would stick out like a sore thumb on my car, and doing the lettering in red so it would match seems a little overkill. Nice job on these ones though.

I spoke with the owner and they can print almost any logo. Just up load it on their website.

The kit came with sand paper and yes I did follow the instructions but I only roughed up the surface after spraying the degreaser.

Thanks, yellow lettering would look hot on you red Viper.

Not sure why anyone would want to spend $130 to be a rolling ad for a tire manufacturer with some inflatable raft material and super glue. Screams "trying too hard".

Wow, putting white letters on my tires is trying too hard...
If you are not sure why I would spend $130 on white letters for my tires let me simply say because I like the look. Thanks again for your post!

[SRT BILL]

Timberwolf, I like the way that looks on your car. Go for it!!

Same here.

Was just speaking in general. If you like the look on your car that's all that matters.

Lol..."speaking in general"....I needed a laugh...sounded pretty direct.....couldn't resist! :fpopcorn:

[Dman]

I've seen tire sidewall decals for years. I think in the right application they look pretty cool. Like yours with the stripes, it works well. Bike guys do them too. Also seen them used by guys doing poker and rally runs, things like that.

[ViperJon]

I like it!

[MalingatorGTS]

I like it! I had a post the other week thinking about doing this...it was ugly lol!

[Simms]

I think these look cool on some setups.

How do you remove them if you don't like them anymore?

[slovenom]

I love it but only on other people's cars

[Crotalidae]

Looks good to me...

[SlateEd]

Yeah, with white stripes those really work somehow. I think they look good on TWolf's all-white also.. A little more track-look. I definitely don't think it would work on a convertible so I won't be following suit haha.

[KB Viper]

the more i look at them on the more i like it. how does that saying go? "because race car"

Fan Here, looks wicked, nice ride :)

[Nine Ball]

I like them, they look great on your car. I hope someday that you can discover aftermarket racing wheels to finish the look, so I could help you achieve that next step :)

[Voice of Reason]

"Because race car" fits these perfectly. I could see myself getting a set of ACR rims and tires and doing this. I had raised white letter tires on my cars growing up so in certain cases I think it works. And here it works. Nice job!

[Torquemonster06]

I've been on the fence about these for a long time now, but after looking at them on here I think it is going to be my next little purchase and I will wait for the NEW tires to be installed then I will put them on.

I agree!! They do look good on that car. I did mine in black on my convertible and they look killer!!

[slovenom]

KB i love your car man!!

[ViperGeorge]

I agree with OP, I always liked the look of white lettered tires on performance cars. Hastens back to the 60s Muscle Cars. Back in the day I used a latex paint stick that they used to sell at auto stores for this purpose. Problem was it used to yellow in time and you would have to touch it up. And it was hard to put on neatly.

[TrackAire]

Just noticed on the tirestickers.com website they mention reflective material as a potential option. If you're going to bling, that might actually look cool at night.

If nothing else, you'd probably be the only dude on the block with a reflective tire sticker, lol.

[LmeaViper]

With the white stripe...I thinks it looks really good.

[ViperPete]

I dig it!

Those letters would look great on my Ram SRT10 for sure too.

[Eachey51]

I dig it on race cars but not stanced "show" cars. I prefer just the brand name though. I did it on my autox set-up.

[Camfab]

Just another way to personalize your car. Not sure I'd do it, but it's different and unique for now. Kinda has a NASCAR flavor to it.

[ViperRyan]

I was looking into these for my Viper. Like the way it looks, anyone on here good at Photo shop, and maybe edit them into my pics below so i can get an idea?

Ya, they look stupidly expensive if you go to their website.

This is my '89 5.0 I bought it new and it's so much fun to drive.

I had a '95 5.0 LX notchback. What a hoot. Tried to track it down a few years ago...

[Arizona Vipers]

I love the look!

[bassplayrr]

I love the look of the white letters w/ the white stripes on an otherwise very dark car. Looks great.

I remember those! I had them on my '83 Camaro. Back when Mustangs were the enemy. Back when I though 245 was a wide rear tire. LOL

[XXX BLK]

I have a friend who put them on his White ACR Extreme and they look AWESOME. I'm afraid to put them on my blk/blk SRT.

[ViperGeorge]

Do the letters come pre-curved to match the diameter of the tire? What part of the tire did you install them on? There is a lot of other stuff on the sidewall. Are they meant to go over the existing Pirelli writing?

[Fatboy 18]

I had white letters on my old Camaro in the early 80s :)

Looks exactly like my white GTS except I don't have the white lettered tires - yet.

[Vipes]

KB this look awesome because the lettering matches your stripes. I don't think I could pull it off on my no stripe adrenaline red car though.
