    If you truly are proud of your wheels, then you keep white letters in so as not to detract from the rim. I'm glad you pick the best looking rim for a Tacoma out there.:D

    I vote white in- The tires I want don't come with blackwalls...and I hate white letters. Just make sure they aren't Unidirectional (I know my scion tires are one way only...luckily they are black wall.)

    I like both looks, but it depends on the color of your truck and the wheels. I think darker trucks look better w/ the whites out, and lighter trucks look better w/ whites in. BUT, it doesn't matter when you buy nice wheels like your planning on doing. With nice wheels, always whites in.

    I have whitewalls on my truck now, and its not bad, just a pain to keep clean.

    next set is gonna be blackwall.

    I like out, if the color of the vehicle is darker. Now the next question is white outlines, or filled in lettering?

    I had the lettering out on my Impulse Red Tacoma. It looked okay, but I felt like a rolling billboard. Don't get me wrong - I love my Firestone Destination A/Ts, but I don't like being a rolling advertisement (Note: The only logos on my truck are the Toyota symbol on the grill and rims and the TacomaWorld.com sticker in the rear window).

    Here is a quick and dirty comparison.

    Have to agree. Letters in, Black wall out, on a white truck anyway. :rolleyes: And besides black out is a lot easier to keep looking good. IMO.

    Lost track many, many mods ago.
    It all depends on what color your truck is and what color your rims are. I have a Hunter Green 2001 Tacoma with black rims and I am runnin white walls out and I love it. Just my 2 cents.
