then black out..

white out needs to be cleaned every month or so otherwise it looks really bad and nasty...

Letters out definitely. Especially with black steelies. The white letters will break it up a bit.

Here is my Rule of thumb:

Large Side wall = White out

low pro side wall = Black walls

I don't like huge tires with black walls. Just my opinion

you dont take rim color/material into consideration... Black truck w/ chrome rims... looks like crap with white letters out...

Are you serious?






That = Hotness!

Just my opinion though, I thing Huge areas of Blackness on the tire looks Cheap.

lol Jared and Bill's trucks are teh hotness reguardless of the rims and tires! but id still go black out. The one difference is: since they both have lvl2s they dont have color matched flares or front valance so its not quite the same as a Edge/Sport, which is really all black

but i suppose im just splitting hairs at this point =p
