White letters on tires

Anyone know what i am talking about? I see it on a lot of bmw and saw on a few g37s. All 4 tires have a thing saying with white letters.

Is that too much of a douche style?

I like them, but if I were to rock them I'd want a fast car.

Been thinking of doing this myself. It will definitely make your car stand out. I don't think it's douche at all; maybe just a bit "out there".

Are you saying G37 is not fast enough?

Agreed, love the look on some cars, think it would look pretty dumb on the G. It's certainly no track star.

Not sure if you're serious. Do you think a g37 is fast? Not counting fi or aftermarket final drive.

Not douche style at all. I personally love it but on bad *** looking cars, not on cars that have a drop and wheels.

Or you could just buy a 80's-90's pickup truck and it would come with white lettered tires stock!

Haha I think wide sidewalls are stupid.

I was just curious on how people do the letterings. I wasn't aware that associating letters to tires meant you need to have a fast car. One tire cost $24.99, pretty expensive for all 4.
