White Walls anyone?

[scooter123]

Yeah, I'm an old fart and have driven cars with white walls. I've also driven a lot of "performance" cars with Raised White Letter tires. My FiST would probably dust off most of those "performance cars", at least at speeds below 60 and some at any speed.

My Fist is Magnetic gray with matching metallic gray wheels. I've always felt it would look a bit better with some type of highlighting on the tires such as Raised White Lettered tires or perhaps, gasp, white walls. So I did a bit of poking around and found some white walls that would sort of fit. See the following link

Won't do it due to the stripe being too wide and the rolling diameter too big and the cost but I have to admit to being sort of tempted. Because tires today are flat out BORING in terms of appearance.

Why don’t you getchu a set of these bad boys for the tires you have currently:

I totally agree with tires being boring, on my 4runner I have a set of Goodyear Duratracs that I had the tire shop mount the white letters out and it looks awesome.

I've really loved the white lettering that members here have done. Takes a level of modding to fit the look, though

I have the white letters from the tredwear people on my other car. I've done it on my Bridgestones as pictured and on my Michelins that are currenctly on the car. High quality stuff, doesn't fade, stain, or peel. Expensive but you get what you pay for. Haven't decided on whether or not to put it on my FiST.

That kit would be nice if I could get a single applique that copied the Hoosier logo. Have always liked the Hoosier tires and their upstart approach.

Are those GTO/Monaro/G8/Commodore wheels on that Grand Am?

Neither. They are wheels off the Grand Am GXP concept car. They're like a combination Grand Prix GXP wheels and Bonneville GXP wheels
