    Black out. Gives it a clean look. Although for black Tacos with black bead locks I prefer the white lettering out.

    This is a great idea if you're really torn and cheaper than having to redo
    all 4 if it really bugged ya.

    Sexy! I like how the white lettering gives the truck a little accent color.


    Edit: does this response make me gay?

    my truck is black, so i went white out.
    but ive always been fan of the old school white letter look. i do think it looks best on black or white trucks tho.

    I did check that out but dont think it would hold up to the MN winters and dirt roads... the reviews i found said that it wore off but you say it worked for you huh?

    ya I had tried it on my highschool truck once a long time ago and we live 45 miles from any town and my school all dirt back rocky roads with mud and sand and gravel and it lasted thru the set of tires?and I was hard on my trucks back then as most high school kids are.have you seen the semis painting theirs red or yellow? they run cross country thru every states winters and iv know it to last quite awhile? I guess it would probably be diff each time but I really did have good luck with it.and its perty cheap so maybe it be worth a try?

    This thread cost me some dough.... I read it this morning----and promptly drove to Discount Tire and took down some 285/70/17's. I went with the black-out on OEM 4Runner Sport 17" wheels. I also agree that the TRD beadlockers look excellent with the white-out. It's all personal preference, anyway----but, damn, these tires are wicked goodness... Cheers. :cheers:
