Posted August 6, 200717 yr comment_217579 Just wondering what you guys thought of the look of a Z with raised white letters on tires . I had them on my silver 71 with aluminum mags and I thought it looked great. Maybe the look is just dated, but so am I:).

August 6, 200717 yr comment_217590 Your blue '71Z must be a cousin to my '71!Looks like we both have the Appliance Aluminum mags but my Falken tires do not have raised white letters. I have no objections to the raised white letters except they were not readily available in the early 70's.

August 6, 200717 yr comment_217592 As long as you keep the letters white and the rest of the sidewall black, they look good! When you let both turn gray-no no noooo!Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25120-raised-white-letters/#findComment-217592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 7, 200717 yr Author comment_217610 I agree that the white letters need to be brite white to look right. By the way Kinfish I am looking for a cap for these wheels. The cap has PM on it and I am only missing one. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25120-raised-white-letters/#findComment-217610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 7, 200717 yr comment_217664 I'll go against the grain... I think they look redneck. I painted straight over the lettering as soon as I got my car home with the new tyres...

August 8, 200717 yr comment_217764 I don't mind white letters, as long as they are solid, not outline. The outline letters never looked good to me, even though I sold them for years.

August 8, 200717 yr comment_217788 I'll go against the grain... I think they look redneck. I painted straight over the lettering as soon as I got my car home with the new tyres...That is really funny.... I'd think that "painting" over them is the red neck part....Carl B.

August 8, 200717 yr comment_217790 I had outlined white letters on my metallic blue Z since the mid 70's. Goodyear GT's... I replaced them with blackwalls a couple of years ago - and the car hasn't looked right to me since. To my tastes the solid white letters are toooo much... to each his own, Carl B.
