White Lettering In or Out?

[70sixpkrt]

I just picked up some new Cooper Cobra GT Radials and wondering if I should put the white lettering in or out? What is your preference? Here is a pic of my old BFG white out. I'm thinking black out.

Nice looking car. I think it looks fine either way. If you're going for a 1970s-80s hot rod sort of look, the letters OUT is a popular look.

 nice looking 70    i prefer non lettered  black sidewalls  ...  but  i agree what KD said white lettered side walls ,are a popular look

I just noticed that the black wall has a cartoon Cobra on it.

I'd like to see the front about an inch lower to get a slight rake.

Black out. I did RWL out and now wish I had not.

It does have a slight rake. I'm using SS springs. The picture doesn't show it well.

I prefer white letters out.

most people in the old days did RWL out, it was flashier and you could see them spin from another car.

I like the white letters out better than the plain black wheel look

Big fan of the retro look with letters out but I wish I went with the Cooper Cobras vs. the BFG T/A as now I have brownish yellow lettering..

Same idea here but my cobras are turning brown too.

I just ordered Cooper Cobras for my '71 and I'm going white letters out. I was shocked at how expensive tires in these sizes have gotten.

I use full strength Dawn soap and a firm bristle brush to bring back the white on my white letters.

Will give that a try!

if you get tires with whit letters, doesn't have any sense install them with letters in.

if you don't want white letters I think there are same tires with no letters

[Nacho-RT74]

what about yellow letters...like NASCAR ?



maybe will be nice on a yellow car LOL

Not so some are best deal, like others said the white can turn into a pain to keep clean.

Like other's have said, white letters are more stand out, they draw attention to the tire, flashier etc. Blackwall out is more oem, stock and understated look.
On your car, the black wall out would match nicely with the hood and stripe..but I am undecided on which I would do.

Depends on what wheels you have... I love the white lettering with the black steelies... this is my 500–

Still prefer white letters out, especially on a large car like a charger.
