Paint the fender flares, turn in the white letters and you're on to something. IMHO

Oh yeah loose the badges and the swords on the sides and tail gate.

Unless you live in Texas.

I like them black, hate seeing white letters on the inside because it looks trashy, and debadging looks generic....so no, no, and no Thanks though.

White lettering sucks, they take away from the wheels, and why advertise the tires you're running? (How do you "SEE" the letters on the inside anhow¿)
Flares painted to match look better IMO.

I do like the flares black! But I agree with the others...put the white lettering on the inside. Looks awesome!

I saw two trucks in town before i got my tires. one had them in and one had them out. its hands down. white letters out was the only way to go. now, with that said, i would have bought black walls if they were offered because they're typically cheaper, but they don't make that tire in a black wall tire. White letters on the inside stick out like a sore thumb to me. Even the ones my sister used to have turned in on her camaro were visible. I would never have white letters out on a car though. On a truck, i like them in a lot of cases. I am particular about tires though. For most of the tires you guys run, i wouldnt worry about white letters because i'd never put the tires on in the first place. in my most humble opinion of course fellas.

Why, cuz I don't polish the back of my tires?


(White letters would look great on a 1969 Chevelle SS with the stock magnum 500 wheels and Goodyear Polyglass tires though cuz it came like that from the factory 40 years ago.)

Wow, you post a picture of your "nasty truck" then start insulting people who comment on it.

Hey Clem, What mods have you done to that "nasty" truck? No signature, no public profile filled out after 130 posts...but then you do not want to be generic...

Set it up the way YOU want it....but don't get offended at other people's preferences. Likewise, if you offer an opinion and he/she doesn't take it.......don't get offended. Ain't your truck.

Well said! 'Clemson725' Didn't ask for our opinions... he just advertised!

But white facing out does remind me of a NYC pimp-mobile!
