We have a local kid driving around here in a new Ford Focus ST who has added a rear wing and has put on the stick on tire lettering with a nice set of wheels. I have to say it does look good. But having said that I don't think they would work on my car.

As with most things, it CAN look good, but it won't always work. Nice thing is, it seems to be temporary so if it looks stupid you haven't lost much. I remember Tyler's 50/50 Camaro had the takeoff slicks mocked up with white lettering and it looked good. Was way before the trend. Just depends on the profile of the tire and overall look/purpose of the car. Same goes for tow hooks, flares, and maybe even gold centered wheels.

To me, on a car that sees track use it looks great! On anything else it seems like an imitation or poser.
