What do you guys think?

Yeah I used one of those once but I didn't like having to deal with reapplying it every time it cracked or peeled so I found that this was a more permanent solution.

Honestly? Not a fan. It is rather shouty.

If Falken paid you, I can see it making some sense.

looks good. Love the headlights more. how did you get them like that

You have to paint the inside housing black... there are how to’s on YouTube for it

I think if you like it then enjoy it.

It's a harmless visual thing with no safety impact.

I agree with Bill, its alittle loud for the car. I think the DGM looks better with the straight black wheels and tires. These aren't nascar cars with the huge lettering on them. Maybe in a more subtle color it would be alright. To eachs own though.

like many cosmetic mods, i think its a cool look. just not for me.

I always thought you bought black wheels on a dark-colored vehicle to draw the attention away from the wheels/tires...

White lettering was popular when I was 18. My car in 1979. The tires were taller too - those are bias-ply. Radials were too expensive for me. I think the aspect ratios were 70 front, 60 rear. 14" wheels - way before big wheels were the thing. I'm older than most of you.

I had a short lived set of bias ply mudders on my xj Cherokee back in the day. Takes a man to drive a performance car with them

funny to see white lettering make a comeback. I remember in the 70s and 80s there were a lot of tires available with it. I remember scrubbing them with brillo to get the dirt off (or the blue protective covering when new). Always bought tires with letters. Back then Blackwalls were ugly, boring and for old people LOL

They used to ask you at the shop which side you wanted facing out, the side with the white lettering or the side with the black.

Normally I'm all about the subtle look when it comes to WRX styling . . . but I have to admit I kinda like the white lettering with the darker car. Not sure I would do it to my own car, but I do like the look.

Fortunately, the Olds made more noise than power. Precise cornering was out of the question. Was more like a slow inconvenience on the way to the next stretch of straight road.

The sidewalls were so tall compared to today. The old people back then liked whitewalls: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewall_tire#Gallery

At yep. Did some time on a Coats 40-40 and asked that question myself.

As always, I choose not to be a billboard, unless the brand plans to send royalties my way.

Consequently I do have a ClubWRX.net license plate holder. Us moderators bring in a lot of $ here on the site.

Same, I just removed the dealer license plate frame from our new Mazda the other day. There was no line item reduction in the price sheet for the car to advertise for them.

I like raised white letters on muscle cars from the 60's and 70's, in some situations. Somehow they added to the "muscular" look.

i like it. same tires i wana cop. tho i'd just put on the falken logo

I really like that look! Not sure why others dont like it, but I love it!
