Hankook has tires that come in different colors, but they are mostly painted treads rather than sidewalls.

I actuallly thougth about doing this, mainly because I don't like the poo colored brown the tires turn into after a while without tire shine. I thought it would look nice, and actually found the kit on ebay as well. I told my friends about it, and they all agreed it would look like ****. I hope someone photoshops on on a silver car, not a stock z, but lightly modded, and im sure it would look pretty good.

LOL, actually, you can test it out and see how it looks in real life. Just take tire shine, and over spray it all over the side wall, take a step back and see how it looks. Thats originally how I got my idea of getting white tires. Btw, I wanted WHITE tires, not just the side wall. Thought that would look sicker than the traditional black tires

Same thing, tires to narrow for the wheels, really wide wheels that stick out from the fender. Same crap, but Z drivers don't use lame *** wire wheels.

May I quote Nancy Reagan? Just say no. Because that's what she really meant.
