Default white wall tires on a Z?

Ok, before you put fail all over this thread at least just give me a second to explain. I know there are a lot of different fads out. I was thinking an aggressive wheel setup with a low profile white wall tire would look pretty dope possibly with some setups depending on the color of the car and wheel setup.

Anyone interested in possibly photo chopping this idea on a aggressive fitment car that you think it would look good on. I think it would look better than some of you think. I just don't know if they make low profile white wall tires. It would be cool if they could make the whole out side of the tire that doesn't touch the pavement white so that you don't see any black from a side profile. No, I'm not on drugs or meds, lol. What ya guys think.

personally the only white i like to see on tires is when the company name is in white. But sometimes thats even stupid looking. I just don't think any company makes a completely white wall.

I don't think you guys are getting it. I am horrible at photo chopping but this is so you get the idea. Sorry, this looks more like cotton than a white sidewall, lol. By the way on ebay i found a white tire sidewall paint and it seems to come out great looking. Anyhow here is a horrible editing. There is also a reason why I posted the picture small. You can get a better ideas of what it would look like because when it is blown up it looks like cotton, lol. Where are the photo choppers at. To me this looks pretty cool. This isn't going to look good on a car with thick tires. I think it would look the best on a stretched tire car with aggressive offsets.

vexx008: I found a kit on ebay that allows you to white wall any tire. I'm not sure how well it works though. I can imagine this setup on a black z with a real aggressive wheel fitment. I bet if someone pulls this off and it get featured it might be a new fad. I think some of you are picturing the wrong type of setup.

I would recommend pin-striping the wheel lips over whitewhall tires.

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

everyone pinstripes the wheels. I'm talking about the tire with a thick white line where from a side profile you can't even see the black on the tire. look at picture below for reference.
