If your a teenager or early 20s yes you might think that cool. Thing is not new and your about 3 years late on the trend.

It is pretty cool, if you're into this kind of decoration. I can appreciate whitewalls.

When are you going to get on the proper spelling trend?

Reminds me of a 1976 Trans Am, and not in a good way.

I did this last year.

I got roasted by purists and "car" people because it was stupid, childish, vulgar and pointless apparently. However, every time I'd go to a gas station I'd have a few older gentlemen point it out and say they used to do that back in the day with their muscle cars, or my non-car friends would compliment it.

Mixed feelings about this. I think it would look nicer if it were a "factory" tire option with perhaps the model of the tire in white walls.

I like the look, but TredWear decals are not cheap and it can get really expensive if you go through tires every 10k.
