White tyre letters

[marzman]

Hey guys,

I fitted my first mod this weekend just gone. I'm sure this will be marmite for some, but I love it and think it really suits the car.

Although that picture from the rear makes it look like it needs lowering urgently, but I think it's more the angle of the picture.

I like it. A nod to the old school radial tires, which I've always adored.

My only issue with having this on the s550's is that the low profile tires get dirty very quickly, well, mine do anyway :lol: and can dirty the letters. Make sure you keep em clean!

have you coloured in the original lettering on the tyre or are they stick on letter ???

 

[marzman]

Yeah, the plan for when they get dirty is to refresh them with a white tyre pen, as they're hard to clean apparently.

They are stick on letters - the original lettering isn't on opposite sides of the wheel so would have driven me mad being uneven. The kit is like a puncture repair kit for a bicycle - rubber letters and glue.

I did mine with a plastidip pen

my ocd wouldn't allow me to put stickers on where the lettering wasn't already stamped in the tyre i'd end up not being able to drive the car until they were removed :(

Very nice. Where did you get them from?

Cheapest place I could find was https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk at £1.20 per letter. I know the company well from my 350z days, they're good guys.

Unfortunately 'Pirelli PZero' x4 + £6 Glue + postage came to the best part of £70, but worth it i think.
