    Raised white letters added to my Toyo tires to further the black and white mode.

    Michelin for one, seems to always accentuate the company name, downplay the tire moniker.

    Not sure why, but this'll fix 'em.

    Cool looking. Are they OEM stickers TOYO sells or aftermarket for any model?

    Wow - reminds me of the early '70s.

    I'm waiting for pimp whitewalls to come back. Big in the 70's. Not sure where the TV antenna would mount on a Prius though...

    Another idea that can take off thanks to the web and social media. Back in the day, you had to pay extra to get tires with raised white letters. Now, not only can you buy the lettering separately, but you can get them in a custom color. This is so cool!

    That reminds me, I had some whitewall snow tires in the mid-eighties.

    Cool accessory... but am I the only one thinking the opportunity is wasted on brand names?

    I'm digging the idea of something like a letraset kit for tires....

    EDIT: they have that! just gotta click a little deeper into their site. You can do two phrases, 180° apart.

    Now what should it say?

    Hi!
    I love the way your tires look, Id like to ask about the Center Caps you installed: I did go to my dealership but they quoted me 80 bucks for 4 little center caps... is that what you paid for yours?
    I cant seem to find a reasonable price for those

    I paid $75.00 for the 4 caps (included shipping and. tax). The cheaper upgrade were the black lug nut covers. About $5 or $6 dollars for the set of 20.
