I would agree, however, I am not a fan of black rims...not enough contrast. I have the alloy rims with BFG AT's....I put the black out and now wish I had the letters out. Have the same tires with the white letters out on my Jeep, but it is 20 years old! Thought I would keep the more modern look, but I have seen many 4runners with them out and it looks cooler IMO. I will say this though...white letters are a major pain to clean!

I have to disagree with that! It is just a trend, and a lot of tires you see in the magazines for more extreme offroading do not have white letters. Maybe it is a comment on how lazy we are in society today...I don't want to clean them either.
90% of rigs never see the dirt anyway...that is why when you go to the dealer all they carry are 2wd's (at least in the non-snow, non-mountain states). If you are going to buy a 2wd, get a station wagon...you are not faking us out! But that is for another thread! Don't even get me started on the Pre-runner!

Well lets see, my mom's car has the black's out.
My truck has the white walls out
And my car will most likely get the white walls to make them look like a smaller profile until I can afford the new meats.
I got them for cheap, depending on the tires I buy they are about 1/8 of the price...
If you don't know what you want do the wheels on each side different, nobody will notice

Black out, White in. After you mount the tires, get a can of "SEM" name of brand, Vinyl bumper paint. Spray the white letters even though their on the inside, so their not really noticeable.

Even tho' I'm not a fan of BFGs they do have the best lettering and look good in white outside but everything else should just keep the white lettering in. Nittos don't have a choice of that but they do have two styles of lettering;one solid style and the other side has a design in the lettering.
