Perfect flaming opportunity - tire question - raised white letters

Ok, so buckle up and get ready to come at me with guns a blazin'. Over the weekend I saw a white BMW M4 with fat, meaty tires (maybe Falkens?) with raised white lettering and it looked, well, unique and not terribly over the top. It actually looked kinda bad *** in a "F you and whatever you think about me" sort of way. Anyone around here ever consider such travesties? My white 507 might look pretty good with some of them dragster-looking tires, no?

Pics of white 507. Can't really tell but I think these mods are best on BMW's. Benz's are a tad classier imho. On a Black Series, yes.

I love white letters, with the right set up. For me, I like them with modded cars (fender flares and drops) and black wheels. I think it would look awkward on a stock, non BS C63.

I think certain wheel combos could pull it off. This C63 looks pretty good, theres more pictures on his profile

I like the look too, not sure if i'd rock it on my c63 because of the mileage and constant tire replacement. However on a weekend only car with a decent size sidewall id go for it.

btw that viper looks amazing! Im sure that car is scary as hell with invo's on it lol.

Looks good with big and wide wheels with meaty tires. RWB made this extremely popular on street driven cars.

Yeah that seems to be the new thing. I'm not liking it except on the traditional drag tires like Hoosiers, but to each there own. Here is my white 507 at the track on white-letter Hoosiers.

IMO, car color(s) is key to pull off that look. Yours being white with black pano would look good.

The blue viper looks great but if those stripes were not white I'm not so sure.

It'll only look good if you have a drop and a widebody.
