Hey it's your car so whatever makes you happy. But I'll stick with my opinion and leave them off my car.

Occasionally when I use a scrub brush while washing them, I will notice where the edge of a letter might be lifting up. This is easily fixed by applying a drop of gel superglue to a toothpick and putting the dab of glue behind the letter and pressing it back down and holding it for 30 seconds.

Just thought some of you might like to know how these hold up..... and It gives me another opportunity to whore out some more pictures of my car.
Those rims are badass!!!

I'm coming around to the idea...again. In the 70's you had to turn them outside in to get rid of the 'raised white letters.' The Perelli's are cool - if - they just said the name in two places. The full circle line is a little over the top, imo.

I think they look decent when they're small and subtle, the huge letters that are the whole height of the sidewalls just look odd to me.

One of the differences between the 2 is the tredwear's are single letters, and the tirestickers are one piece.

I like the look on black wheels. But I have the stock clear coated wheels. Anyone have pics with the white letters on stock wheels?
