mattop Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I thought I would repost this in the modification forum since it didn't get much "traction" over in tires and wheels. My wife and I just bought a leftover black 2013 Edge SE. It has brand new tires and I won't be needing new ones for quite a while, but I have given some thought as to what tires with white letters on them that you see on a lot of SUVs and trucks would look like on a black Edge. I did a google image search but did not find any photos of an Edge with white letter tires. Have any of you done this? Maybe someone with some Photoshop skills could whip something up to see what it looks like. I'm just trying to think of ways to make my Edge stand out from the crowd a little. What do you guys think?

akirby Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 You want to stand out for all the good reasons, not the bad ones. I think RWLs look good on some SUVs but not modern cars or crossovers so to me this would be a bad one, but in the end it's your vehicle.

mattop Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Haha, you're right. I can't really envision what it would look like on the Edge. I was hoping someone here has done it already or at least has some photoshop skills to produce a "concept". It might just look dorky.

akirby Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Quick chop. Doesn't look as bad as I thought. Edited February 10, 2014 by akirby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeDevil79 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Here you go, a test with Jeep Cherokee wheels and Tires - looks good with Black rims, would also help to have roof rails I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Looks better with bigger wheels, lower profile tires and smaller letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattop Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hmm. We have a Black Edge SE with roof rails. This is kind of intriguing. I have stock 17" rims on mine. It might look kind of cool! Especially with a slightly more aggressive tire. I have a lot of miles until I need new treads though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I think it gives it a more rugged, truck-like character. Not so sure it fits in with the Edge theme if the lettering is on the larger size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattop Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 @fishx65, haha, yes! Well, being a child of the 80s I guess I can't help it! Although, my other vehicle is a 2005 Super Duty, and I did not want white letter on that. I don't care for them on a nice looking (modern) truck. I don't know yet with the Edge. I'll have to give this some more thought--50,000 or 60,000 miles of thought until these wear out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
