I have never seen white letter tires on a C5. Don't think they make them in Z or Y rated tires.
You could get a white tire crayon snd outline them, but why?

I've never seen a C5, or any low profile high performance tire, with white lettering. Do love the looks of the lettering on the C3 and old muscle cars, though.

I've never seen a C5 or C6 with white letter tires and I really hope I never do!

Just for fun I mounted my last set of hoosiers with the white letter side out. I haven't put them on the car yet but when I do I'll take some pics.

Muscle cars look great with them but I don't think they would on a C5. Sidewalls just too small.

Mine too. I think that raised white letters would look sharp on the C5. I can remember (showing my age) when black wall tires were for the elderly.

I asked the same question about a year ago and thought I was going to be banned from the site!
I still think it would look good. I like the pic but it has the stock wagon wheels on it so doesnt give me an idea of what it would look like with chrome wheels.
