Hi all,
Just ordering tires and can't decide on raised white letter showing or turn them for just all black? Here's the rims and car. Car now has T/A hood in black with T/A stripe
Thanks Brad

Ya I know what your saying CP. Historically I have never used raised white lettering on my cars ,sort of a 70's thing, but I'm thinking it would "fit" with this year and car. Sort of retro if you will?

I am a black wall fan myself.  The raised whites letter just look too 70s for me.

Love the wheels! Very cool! :2thumbs:

What are you doing with the old wheels (I like the prostars too).

I went with the raised white letters for the retro look. 

It's a tough call though.    :pullinghair:

I'm going to sell them. They need a good polishing, pretty dull.

I've got 15x8 pro stars which I would like to sell....but I'll give Brad first shot at it, since he was first! :cheers:

But mine have a different rear offset, and theyre starting to grow on me, especially since I found out the torque thrusts I like are $$$$, plus they dont have the right sizes I like either.
I copy and pasted the tts I like in the picture to see what they would look like.

Will do just waiting on the tire place to get me a price and availability. Hopefully won't be long! I have brand new lug nuts and washers to go with them too. The had some type of funky tunner nuts on them that I had to buy a special tool from sears to remove them as the seller of the car didn't havethe remove tool. They will be cheap too! I know money is tight everywhere these days.
