I know there is someone on here who has a black c5 with yellow Nitto logo painted on the tires. looks pretty good. Anyone else do it? is there a kit you can buy? How did you do it etc. Thought about doing this if its reversable. I know its not for everyone but thought it was cool.

I haven't seen painted ones, but there is a company that makes rubber stick on ones in whatever writing you want. Don't remember the name.

Most auto stores sell markers to paint the letters.

Good luck if you do it. You're right, they are not for everyone.

Make a stencil with the word you want on there. Spray paint it. The markers work too.

I have decided not to do it, I seen one in person and didnt look as good in pictures lol.

Good call..

I agree, good call.

Years ago they made tire paint sticks in various colors. It worked ok for painting raised letters to a color, but they required touching up periodically. If it was for more than just the raised letters, I would be afraid of it coming off and looking really ratty.

I prefer black wall. On one car I wanted tires that I could only find in raised white letters. Either they don't make or I couldn't find black paint sticks to get rid of the white letters. I tried a sharpie pen and it worked marginally. I finally went with a hobby store black acrylic paint and carefully applied it with a small paint brush. It worked pretty well, but I still need to touch it up about once a year.

Agree, good call!

IMO, the painting on the tires just distracts from the car. That is a stunningly beautiful Ferrari, but my eyes keep going to the white letters on the tires.

Not for me - but to each their own. Perhaps, the tire manufacturer will give you a discount for the free advertising.

Might be dating myself here but back in the day when I was much younger, I grew up using a lot of white lettered tires for my cars. I actually liked it but think it belongs on the vintage vehicles. I've thought about doing it to my vette as well but just can't bring myself to cleaning it up after I
see it doesn't look good.
