Default Raised white letters -- inside or out?

When I purchased the new wheels and tires for Elly, I had them put the white letters on the inside thinking they would distract from the chrome wheels. Now, I'm not so certain. What are your opinions? Should I have them switched back or leave them on the inside? I know it's a matter of taste, but I'm taking a poll to see results.

Of course. OUTSIDE. Although the Hankooks I ride on have whitewalls so those are on the inside and have been painted black. When I had the option of RWL, always on the outside.

I LOVE raised white letters personally gives it that mean look. Sadly my new tire/rim combo you can't get RWL tires that is the only reason I no longer have them so that's a vote for RWL out.

I would say it depends on what the lettering says, and how much of it there is. I would'nt want the whole alphabit on the side of my tires, but the BFG stuff is O.K.

For me, depends on the wheels. When I had solid centerlines, I liked them black out. Now that it has 69 Trans Am rims, white side out.

If you're not going to travel much, it really doesn't matter.

I've been told that most texans can't read anyway.

you copuld always leave theletters on the outside just to confuse them I guess.

Out, with the rims you got, it shall be lookin rather sharp. And after it's got the new color on her, and you don't like the way it looks, then swap em.
