Black letters out MUCH BETTER!

I got my tires fliped from the white letter out to the black letter out when I went to get them balanced and rotated. It looks alot better I think. Makes the rims stand out more and the tires look bigger. I have a new openion on white letter. I think that white letter looks good on truck dont have any thing done to them. But on a hooked up truck I think the white letter take away from the truck. Live and Learn.

+ way easier to keep clean.

pics to come!!

About time you did that, I thought the white letters didn't look good on your truck especially. Much better now! Tempted to do the same with mine.

i've always preferred white out. but it might be because i have an old truck, and that's the old way of doing it

Yeah, I was a white-side-out fan back in my Camaro days. I had white-side-out on my 2nd gen at first (seemed a bit "much", I thought) then went to black-letter-side-out. To each his own...

Always black letters out...I had white out for about 2 days on mine when I first got it even as a stocker and I had to switch em. Black letters look good, especially on black rigs...like mine

Ahhhh... The power of the masses!

Actually, the white letters contrast nicely with the side body accents...

I actually think the white letters look good out on your truck (and yes I do mean with the "real" paintjob )

How do you really feel? Sheesh.

Anyway, another vote for black out. Heck, black out everything!

WARNING: I got a shimmy in the rear after they flipped my tires around. On radials, this can happen I hear. Kind of annoying - but not enough to change them back.

4runner4me,
You should get some covers for the gap in the frame/body at the rear wheel. I can see the car through the gap.

Calrockx used some cheap plastic sheeting (pond barrier?) that looks great.
Well I still have to say I like your truck WLO But it looks awesome none the less!
