white lettering on 16” GTA wheels

i was curious on what something would look like. are there any pics out there of 16” gta wheels with white raised lettering tires? i’m exploring options for when i need new tires (245/50r16 for reference)

I don't recall ever seeing a 245r16 with white letters, ever. I remember seeing someone who stickered them on for the 12 seconds that was popular, but thats it. Not saying they never existed.

I think raised white letters on tires is kind'a cheesey...

Raised white letters were OK in the 70s, like white wall tires.......Not now....

Re: white lettering on 16” GTA wheels

When I ran a tire shop back in the early 2000s, RWL tires in the 245/50R16 were on their way out and pretty much done.

On the right car/wheel combo they look great. The 5 spoke Z28 15's look perfect with RWLs.

All the haters can hate. It's your car, do what you want. It's all about a consistent look and what you want to achieve.
