by chainsaw Sat Jun 06, 2015 3:17 pmJust got some Cragar ss for my pickup. Back in the day everyone ran white letters on tires showing, now, no one does. Should I try and restart a trend or turn my white letters so they dont show ?

IMO Letters in are more for a "Racing Look" letters out are more for a "Custom Street" look... I have them both ways.!!!..

Early vans always look great with white letters out!

Also since my truck is now orange and white I thought the letters out would go good with the white two tone.

IN!...... Unless BFG is interested in sponsoring my build..... I'm proud of my stuff, but prefer manufacturers names be displayed discreetly, if at all!

Well I went with letters in, going for more of a racy look. Still kinda think its missing something.

I like the White letters out but do it the way YOU like it best! Now that you have them in, drive it that way for a while and if you get bored with it, try it the other way around...I think you may be right though, they look like they could use a little PoP because the rest of the truck has some zzzz zing to it!!!
