Anyone? I haven't been in the loop long enough. I like the looks of letters on 15 inch rims. No letters on 17 inch rims is a no brainer. Any picks of 15" and letters out?

I run Magnum 500's but op'ed to turn the letters in. Just my preference.
I've seen 'Stangs with white letters that look nice. IMO it's just a matter of taste, and "does it go with the total package?"

I run my BFGs with em out. Whithout them, it would look like another "derby" tire.

I like letters in.

In the winter, it's much too cool to clean the white letters, so they look old, dingy and dirty, and thats definately not the image I want to portray wih my classic.

I run white letters out. It just doesnt look right with them in to me if you have rims smaller than 17. I used to have the white walls out on my '67 and i liked that look too.

It is most certainly a matter of taste. I'm still running on 14's, but I like the letters Big Raised and White personally and would do it on 15's as well. You need something to break up all that side wall.

Run white letters out if you have 60 series or higher tires. I have 15 inch 65 series on Magnum 500's letters out.

If you run a low profile tire, the letters out looks funny or may not even be an option.

Ohhh, and you guys can clean your white letters with White Lightening (available at Home Depot). It is the best cleaner I have found for doing the lettering.

I run them out. They're always dirty, but so is the car. Oh well.

Running white letters on my Eagle GT's on the GT. I like to the white letters--add a bit of white that goes well with the white GT stripes.

I run mine out , if you want an easy clean then use steel wool. SOS and Brillo are also excellent for cleaning aluminum wheels, but only the ones that have no clear coat. Raised white letters really look bad-ass with black wheels.

I run them out on all 4 corners. The only way to go... I think my car would look funny with the letters facing in.
