    IMO, I like white out on old school cars/trucks and on dark/black rims. Otherwise, I keep the white inwards.

    It depends on the tires. Something like the Michelin’s with the outlined white letters are a pain to clean with SOS pads, so black out. Something with solid white letters, like @philth with his cement color and the Generals, looks good especially with a blacked out wheel.

    I always did black out if it was an option on cars and when I had the green Jeep always white out, cuz it came to me that way.
    The Tacoma came with black sidewalls and I like that look so when I get new tires I'm going black out too.

    White letters in. The tires may be just black on both sides with no white letters. My Michelin's are that way. I bought them like that.

    I am not a fan of white letters, but if you have not choice they should be out. It looks incredibly tacky to see white letters in, but maybe you could start something by putting them in and keeping them white?

    Personally, I’m torn. I think it looks great both ways. I’ve got the Storm Trooper look going so I think a little more white contrast would work but ... I’m just not sure.
