I dig it! Looks the same as when Gm rolled them out and sprayed on the yellow the same way.

I'm going to do the P in red and the rest in all white. Tomorrow I'll share a photoshop I'm going to mock on my SS.

You saw the Hoosiers or low profiles with custom lettering?

QmaroSS · 01-15-2014, 08:51 PM

I like it, I think it looks badass.

It reminds me of my first Camaro a '82 Berlinetta. It had raised white letter tires and I always got great comments about. Besides I think it will come back again eventually.

The responses made up my mind not to do it!

Right choice ! IMO white lettering looks good as part of an overall old school look that usually has full chrome or solid color wheels, and maybe Baby Moons. I'm speaking from
being around awhile as my fisrt new muscle car was a '66 GTO. With our cars not the look you get with with anytype of wheel that has spokes.

I think your on the right track with the coloring variations

Hey the way these cars burn through summer tires do it, if you don't like it, they will be swapped out in no time !

skipinminn · 01-15-2014, 08:57 PM

<<<<<< OLD school a set of Cragers and white lettered tires : ) The 60's and early 70's. Now that's what I'm talking about! I wanted to do that to my car but NO such thing as 20" Cragers.

delta6 · 01-15-2014, 09:19 PM

looks nice on older camaros (1st or 2nd gen) but not on the current ones....my 2c.

ackeight · 01-15-2014, 09:22 PM

Go all out and get some white walls.

LimaCharlie · 01-15-2014, 09:36 PM

I don't like white letters on a low profile, short sidewall tire. It looks great on almost every car from early 60's to mid 80's though.
