So I decided to make my own...
Anyone else try these letters from Tredwear?
I just quickly placed on there so that's why that are crooked in some areas.
I have templates to get them straight and adhesive that comes with the kit when I get ready to glue them down.
Just curious if anyone had any luck with similar kits..

Sorry, no personal experience to share. That is pretty cool. I've known about that company but didn't realize you could get the old style lettering. Usually what I see from them is guys putting extremely large letters on their tires...something that never ends up looking good...

I agree. The large letters look like a hot wheels car..
I will let you guys know how they work out.
I have a cheater 17" steel wheel these are going on.
Trying to keep a somewhat factory look yet still retain the brake system on the LX cars during my conversion..

Do these fit over the bigger brakes of the R/T and SRT?

Just got back from Fl. I will be mounting the tires this weekend and shoot some pics on the clearance and backspacing to see how they fit.

Experimenting with four cutout areas. Did not really like the smooth look.

Wheels on a stock cuda would require spring inboard kit.
