    Hey man, I'm more of a 70's guy and I like white lettering out! Gives some detail to the tires instead of just plain black which can kind of disappear, plus the lettering on my Revos looks cool. I think the white lettering looks sharp with darker colored trucks...like mine!

    I chose to have the lettering out on my tacoma I have the white lettering inward on the 4runner. the 4runner is dark, the tacoma is silver, i tried to match it due to color of truck. but they do get dirty and maybe in the long run having the lettering outward is better way to go. I don't think there is a right or wrong, just do what you like and look at some pics and decide from there.

    I did it again. Got tired of paying truck payments and gas and traded in for a 2015 Honda Accord Sport since I enjoyed my 2013 Sport so much.
    In, although when I got my Dueler AT Revos mounted I requested to have the white letters facing in and they ignored it.

    I agree with most...light color truck in...dark color out. I'm thinking pyrite is dark, so when I change mine I'll probably go white out.

    I have a white truck and I want the white letters out dammit, but my new Toyo Open country MTs only come in black. Guess i cant have it all.

    I think when you have black or mostly black wheels and then add an all black tire that it takes away from the wheel design.
