Appearence question for ya'll...

I'm ordering a set of Black TTM's for the TA, and I was wondering how the car would look with white letter tires? I want to reinforce the vintage look I'm going with. I've never seen it done on a TA, and I want to know what you guys think before I do it.

What I was thinking of doing was using the Duplicolor Hot tire paint, and fill in the "BF Goodrich" on the new tires that I ordered with the wheels.

I think what I'm going to do is, after the wheels get here. I'll do the letters on one tire and put it on the car and take a pic, then post it so ya'll can see how it looks. Just gotta wait for them to get off of backorder first. lol

Credit for the retro look. If you do it right, it will look good. Maybe go with anthrasite centers w/gray lettering on just the outline of the letters so it does'nt pop so much.JMO.Four years ago when I put black wheels w/all black tires (white letters not showing) on my truck, everyone said don't do it. I think I started something ya know. Do it and put up some pictures. Yes to radical thinkers.............
