I like it on old school muscle so I think it would look decent on the newer cars too, depending on the style of wheel

It looks alright on the bike tires but I'd pass on the car tires.

Looks good. But you have to understand when I grew up Raised white lettered tires were the standard. I asked one time to have my tires reversed mounted to black walls and boy did it create a discussion. I always wanted my car to be a little different and everyone had either the raised or outlined white lettered tires on their cars. White letters are old school and they do look good on some cars and some they look horrible. It is up to you and nobody else. Its what you like, not what we like for you.
