This looks amazing, I was thinking to do this for so long on my tires but waiting to get some Michellins

The reason why I like it is because it brings two major things to the car, 1. A sort of Track-Car vibe to it, 2. It's a bit like having stickers on your car but subtle and tasteful.

Not my cup of tea, but if you like it, then by all means. Just another fad that will come and go.

i did this back in 2011 when i had my Supra wheels on my sc400 (before the lip and sides)

I bought a tire marker at AutoZone for a couple dollars and just painted the letters on the tires. It lasted for a couple months, then faded out. Never re-did it because I got tired of the look.

I did something like this but much more subtle, I only painted the Hankook symbol instead of the whole thing with silver sharpie. It only really works when all tires are the same brand, unfortunately. Probably gonna do it to the next full set I get, hopefully all 4 michelins so I can color in the michelin man

I like the way it looks! Is it possible to get it done in different colors?

I would love to do this once I get some new wheels later this year.

I did this a few months back on mine. Every time I rubbed just a little bit more came off. Now it's entirely gone. I hope yours does not rub! Looks so good

Thanks! They should not run off since it's not paint. It's actual rubber cutouts that have been glued on to the tire.

You should have them clean up that over-spray, er, over-sticker, so it doesn't look painted.

looks like whiteout paint up close, I looked at there site and they are a total ripoff for a rubber sticker, probably cost them no more then a few cents to make
