Agreed, how does one go about doing this? I know they make tire paint pens and all but not sure what you have to do other than masking it off and painting the letters.

I've been thinking about this more and I actually like how thing the lettering and sidewalls are, any meatier and it would look too much like a drag radial or old school A/T tires. Definitely fits the blacked out, race-car look with the WALD body kit.

Looks really good on a white car. I had a tire lettering pen in the garage I never used and after seeing your thread went out and did it on mine. Looks really race...lol

Thanks guys! I'm really digging the look as well. I was inspired by that bimmer someone posted in this thread along with a few other cars ADV.1 has posted on their instagram.

I used a tire pen but it was difficult painting while the wheels were on the car. Next time I plan in taking the wheels off then painting when the wheels are laid flat next time. I may also try another tire paint brand because after a few days they are already fading.

next time you buy tires (yes, i know it will be a while) just ask the store to order in white wall style, the letters will be white.
