Lettered tires: Yeah or "Ghey?"

How would raised white lettered tires look on a b13? I am looking at BFGoodrich tires with raised white letters (13"). I love the looks but what do you think? Are they too ricey or does it scream "racer boy?" Yeah I know it's my car blah blah, but what do you think?

no not any raised white letter or whitewall at all...keep your sidewalls nice and black.....

I dont think it's either. I think it screams "I wish this was a NASCAR".

Raised white letters are too expensive as they require you to go buy an 80s Camaro to match.

RWL went out with the muscle car. They were the hot ticket when most cars had whitewalls. Only the really cheap cars had black only.

With the ascension of pocket rockets and low profile tires, blackwalls became chic. Now, to me, whitewall says...well, American Rice. As opposed to all other rice...

I've seen some cars raised white letters look good on...others they look crappy. Whitewalls look crappy no matter what. You might as well throw wire wheels on your car if you have those.

Well,
Wait. If you got a hemi sticking out of the hood of your B13, the letters may look good. Just get american racing 'mags' to match.
