If you actually wheel you'll want them in, or it will look like crap after a little bit.

For those who like them out, can you please tell me why? What is it about the white letters that appeals to you? It reminds me of my grandpa sitting in the driveway for hours with a bottle of white shoe polish touching up the letters on his Buick. I like them in but if I had General Grabbers, I might put the red letters out because they're kind of cool and less shouty than the white letters.

Nobody wears white shoes anymore.

I think it looks sportier and not like blacked out trailer park trash with the letters out. But that's just a personal opinion

It depends on the tire and wheel... but I like them in. Except on black wheels its just a little too black looking... white letters help break it up.

I like having them out. Why not put one side in and the other side out? Why not both!

Always in. Always. White letters out are for vehicles that old people drive.

Thats what I thought too, but let me tell ya, those red letters fade quicker than ya think. I ended up getting them remounted in because they looked like such crap.

Personally I like the letters out, but just because it helps with the whiteout look I'm kind of going for...
