Default Little Ricey but Kinda Cool?
http://www.duplicolor.com/products/hottires.html

I'm thinking of fillin' in the Nitto in white on my 555r's to give the car a Mickey Thompson or Hoosier drag radial look. Whatcha guys think?

Yea, it's one of those, . . . . "Have to see it on my car first." - type modification. But like I said, I've always loved the way "Hoosier" is cleary read on the tires of the their Drag Radials.

I don't know man, a friend of mine did it and it looked rather gay. I guess it depends on the vehicle and type of tire really. Plus that junk is expensive.

Hmm it looks interesting. I wonder how easy it is to get off also. Id be afraid of it running too. It might look good when its new , but I could see it running all over the place.

Idk I like the Hoosier slicks but don't know if it would look good or not. Go for it and post up pics and then if it looks bad, I say just get some Hoosier slicks.

it looks cool if you take your time.

Some say it wears out too quickly.
