Default White Letters on Tires?

Anybody have any pictures of how white lettered tires look on a bonnie, preferably black? Or someone wanna photochop something? Preferably '98 ssei =p I might try to come up with something in photoshop or fireworks later if nobody else does.

I know a local GTP has tellow lettering, trying to go for the NASCAR theme, and even that looks so-so IMO.

yeah I saw one on the srt stratus once (very deep blue/maybe black), and i thought it actually didin't look that bad with yellow letter, but it was a nicely done up car with tinted windows and such, and it almost fit with the really dark blue.

i have always been a fan of white lettering...must be the gaudy side of me...but i love it on anything. a white bonnie...with white lettering...would look nice...imo. whenever i used to scrub the tires clean on my cars that had white lettering, it always looked like the car had new sneakers on.
