Or you could take them down to the guy that will shave the letters down so that you have white walls :beer: .
I think that Gixxer did that with his white letter tires.

I kinda agree with Julie on doing something with the little chips on the door, sombody touched them up before but used a color that does'nt even come close to matching. Should'nt be to hard to touch up not really any body work involved. And yes get the tires turned around.

that is exactly what i did. had my white letters shaved to whitewalls. you dont have to get them as thick as mine are. if the tires are in good shape and you dont want the white letters, just flip the tires around. if you are really anal about seeing the white letters on the inside, shoot some black spray paint on them.
