Does anyone know where to purchase raised white or yellow letters on tires for the corvette.

Did we just go back to the future for about 20 years?

dye pencils are available, in many colors. Use them to make your own "white letters". If it looks as corny as I think it will, at least you'll be able to wash the dye off with a little lacquer thinner. If it looks as good as you are imagining, try calling Coker Tire and see what they can come up with.

They would have to be pretty small letters, if you stay with the stock rims and low profile tires.

No tire maker makes a lettered tire in a size that would fit. Just finding ANY non-factory size tire combination that doesn't cause issues with the active handling and traction control is difficult and requires careful selection.
