They don't make the larger lettering for Nitto and the smaller lettering doesn't do anything for me otherwise I would have done Nitto...I'm not one who likes artificial or "cheesy" accessories but I made an exception on this one and turned out to my liking.

I like it Great idea! I'm sticking with my slotted 15s to keep the raised letter tires. Maybe I'll do the same if I upgrade

psublett, good idea. I'm from the old school where I like red line tires and white letter tires on the ear specific cars they came on. Personally some of the new wheels from more than 10 feet away don't look any different than the old painted spare tire wheel. Everybody has their on taste and you can bet, tire makers in the future will start using the white letters and red lines again. All products keep changing to keep sales from going stale. enjoy your ride.

I think it's a neat idea, wouldn't call it ricer but definitely would rather see the correct brand on there.

For mine, though, I'm going to stick with no lettering.

How much is it? The small lettering might be worth the try. Those look like they may be bigger than the original lettering on a 15" tire.

Might as well put a 454 emblem on the hood while you're at it.

To be consistent, he would put a 305 emblem on the hood, since the tires he has are better than what he is advertising.
