I've seen this on a few cars.. my ZIIs arrive tomorrow, and I want to paint the letters for a vintage look. Two questions:
How have you done this in the past?
Would yellow or white look better on a red car (with gold wheels)?

2012: Purchased Miata, Laid off 3 days later. 4th place overall (default!), NWOR SCCA (RTR)
2013: Budget RTR build, massive increase in participation, 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA (RTR)
2014: Suspension and more active competition in STS. 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA
2015: Time for some "form" and vintage styling (while still racing NWOR, of course).

Yellow.
I say yellow as well
I too say yellow.
I painted my tire letters awhile back with a "white paint marker" I got for cheap from Amazon. Looked like this:

Looked great at first, but as the miles passed, the paint would flake off and/or yellow. I think it's because the tires keep expanding and contracting while driving, the paint is being stretched, thus falling off. But hey, what do you expect from using a paint marker that costs less than $2?
To do it properly, Revlimiter has a post on his blog about painting his tire letters:

Definitely leaning toward doing this more and more... especially with my new tires arriving today.
