I'd say go for it . I've only seen a few sets on street cars and the look killer, and I think that the black wheels would set them off.

Just for triva sake any on care to guess the main reason for the yellow letters on the Goodyears?

Ok I can't stand it any longer. The yellow letters show up in photos while in motion.

I tried to see what they would cost to buy new ones and found out that they don't even make the yellow letters for the public anymore. They are only availible in white letters.
