Think you're gonna have to do it yourself. That's what they do from what I've read.

http://www.google.com/products/catal...d=0CDYQ8wIwAA# is how you do it. You just color the lettering in. IMO looks cool as hell on track cars.
Or you can buy slicks,they come with white or yellow lettering

Well I know I could do that but was just curious if that's how they do it or do they actually make tires you can buy like this.

call a tire shop and ask what tires come with optional white lettering in the size you want, but i like the do it yourself idea too.
a lot of tire companies produce their tires with white lettering on one side and black on the other. bfgoodrich is one. hoosier etc. i run the white letters on the outside on the 73 Z28. i think its a cool look.

Looks fine on the street it you have a "track inspired car" and track your car on the weekends.

Maybe but I haven't seen a car that I would like it on yet. Not saying that theres not one or that it wouldn't look good on the right car but I just haven't seen one yet.
