Im a big fan of raised white letter tires and have been wanting to get some but came to realize they dont make them in 17s. Well at least i couldnt find them. So I looked up other methods and ideas to getting the job done and came up with a cheap easy way. Its a pen. Jus prep tire and paint. I dont know how long itll last but for the price im very happy with outcome. I plan on throwin themback on car on saturday. Some might not like what i did but i do. Thats all jus wanted to share incase others might want to try

Nice! Is that a special pen for tires or what?Make sure you post up a pic of them on the car to really see what they look like.
BTW - I had those Riken Raptors as my last set of tires and they are pretty good tires.

Looks good. I thought about painting the letters on my tires but I think I'm just going to roll on Hoosiers so they already come painted.

Looks fine, but I'd be embarrassed to have those tires on my car.

Can't beat the free part. Not a lot of people care about brand of tires unless if you're getting performance tires like slicks or radials.
