Tires; Help me choose with pictures

Guys-

I need some help. I'm waiting for a set of Revos to arrive and I need help choosing which way to mount them. Black letters out or white letters out. My stock rims in the pictures are the ones I'll have on.

Please select from the two pictures and let me know which looks best on my truck. Special thanks goes out to Bob_98SR5 for photochopping the pictures.

Thanks in advance.

I saw black out, especially if you wheel it.

I think the white lettering out. One reason I say this is because I hate being able to see it on the inside of the tires.....Now you are up to $.04

Black is beautiful and you don't have to worry about the white wash out. Too much work involved on white lettering not to mention when you hit or rub on the street curb. I say go for black out. My .02 cents.

Woody,

I say black out if you wheel it, otherwise white out.

Momo, love the avatar!

I agree with Tom. Black out if you wheel it.

What is that, $.14 now?

Wow, .14 cents

The wheeling I do is on sandy beaches, and some trails that lead to beaches that is mostly soft sand, pulling a Jet Ski. No hardcore trails or rock crawling.

Thanks for the votes and replies so far.

white out, because if you get tired of the white lettering, you can let the letters get covered in dirt and brake dust, and it looks just like the black side, but then if you decide you want white letters, just give the tires a good scrub and it looks all nice again, two for one. thats what i do

Black out. My heep came with white out and it is a pain to keep them looking good... FWIW, my Runner has black out.

BTW - if you happen to curb it a couple of times with white letters out, they start to look pretty tattered - even when clean!
