First...anyone out there install raised white letter tires on their box?

And I am just about to buy some 14" steelies (with chrome rings, chrome lug nuts and retrofitted center caps) and BF Goodrich 195 70 14 raised white letter tires for a unique look AND a more comfortable ride too....

whatcha think? I already have a ragtop, spoiler, smoked headlights, stop sign stlye tail lights and Tien H springs plus various other mods (panel van now after taking out rear seats...)

be sure to paint the steelies white too. It adds to the effect quite well. I have seen this done in Japan already and it even crossed my mind for my winter wheels if "have" to drive the car in the winter. but the wheels done in white looks really cool.
