I think it looks better. Makes the car//wheel//tire sportier looking.
Thanks for posting- last week my wife & I were talking about something to break up all the black. For now, our wheels are black.
you're welcome... if you want a photoshop of your car, post a picture of it on this thread and I an do an example of how it would look
thanks for the input guys! White letters get a bad rap around here in threads I've read, but I think they looks great on the 15" old school painted wheels. Maybe not on the larger aluminum wheels though
You can get a white letter marker it's like a soft chalk/paint mix. It lasts for a long time I know truck drivers that have used it on their trucks. We put more miles on a truck in a year than most people put on a car in a lifetime. So if it will last a year traveling 130,000 for solos and team trucks going 280,000 miles you should be OK.
Think the white letters will look great on your car but don't forget tire shine to keep them looking new. I suggest Meguiars Hot Shine. A great product.

Reason: new info
With 15" rims and white letter tires, your car can have a very sporty or traditional appearance. They deliver dependable function together with a classic appearance. Just make sure the tire specs fit the needs of your car for the best handling and safety. Excellent option for both function and style!

Wow, what would we do without you posting such obvious information on a 14 year-old thread!
Oh, and they are WHEELS. No 15-inch "rim" is gonna fit on a thirdgen F-body...
I guess this is how we welcome new members around here. It was his first post here. Calm down.
james032-Welcome to thirdgen.org. I see you are in the Netherlands. Very cool to have members from overseas.
Yeah, one has to wonder why someone's very first post would be on a 14+ year-old post and with such basic common information.
Save the self-righteous virtue signaling for someone else...
Over the last couple years I have noticed quite a few new members like this posting only one or two posts with extremely obvious information, all worded like they are writing an online article or using it as an online reference.
I haven't quite figured it out yet because I am falling way far behind on tech these days, but I think it has something to do with people building an online profile of some kind or needing to create a post for their college reference list or something. That or kids in China building information for an AI platform.

I suspect you may be right, and perhaps I'm stupid for replying to an A.I. post...
One-posters like that one (with generic content) are likely spambots generated by some AI entity. Gain a foothold on a public forum, then begin spamming ads or links to other internet sites in order to either sell something or mine ID info.
Posts that most annoy me are the 1-posters starting out new threads claiming zero mechanical knowledge, then posting a long list of questions and requests for a vast amount of very specific info on how to build a 1000 hp engine on very little $$$. I come away feeling like they're from an alternate account, trolling; the OP always seems to know the exact buzzwords to elicit the most/longest replies.
Prob shouldn't complain though, in this day and age of forum-based sites going down like the Titanic, I guess any site traffic is good traffic.
