I know that I have seen a marker that you can write on the tires with to give you that effect. But I don't think they come that way.

Not sure how it would look on a 1er (or any modern car for that matter - particularly with the low-profile sidewalls so common these days) but I think it can be a cool look. I'm skeptical that a marker wouldn't just look sloppy compared to RWL's from the manufacturer, but I've been wrong before.

Many of the DOT street tires will not come with white lettering. If you do see them, most likely they were sprayed on or colored in by a tire paint marker.
