Random tire question!
I was thinking of putting some raised yellow letter tires (on my 04 vert), kinda like the nascar ones that came on the 2002 monte carlo. Question is I dont think anyone makes tires with that thin of a side wall and have raised lettering. Anyone ever seen any C5s with white wall or anything like what I am talking about. Thanks and I know it's an off the wall question but wanted to know. Might look like crap but photoshops are welcome.
Reason I ask is I was thinking of using the montes tires on my 79 vette and wanted to try and keep my two yellow vettes matching.

Or you could do what we used to do in the stone age, get a yellow paint stick and do your own.

Looks good on the C3, would look horrible on the C5. and no, I don't think anyone makes them.

A C5 with white walls ......... well, nothing wrong with being an individual.

Great, if!
I think that would look great, assuming the yellow letters were on the inside of the wheel so you could only see them lying under the car! Go for it
