Age Old Question - White Letters or Black Walls

What do you prefer? White Letters of Black walls?
I am leaning towards the black walls, tires appear larger to me.

Here is a picture (photoshopped) for you to compare...

I think this will come down to a generational thing. Younger will prefer black. Older will prefer OWL.

For mudders/white lettering, for low profile or highway tires/black. So since I have mudders, I will say lettering, however my sidewall was too small for lettering.

i think what rims you have matter too. I went with a black rim with chrome accents and i have black wall. but my roommate has the same rims in chrome with white letters out and it looks really nice too.

Finally had the tires mounted...the dealership was $2 cheaper than anyone else. Plus I like the security that if the damage a pressure sensor they will replace it.

Here is a quick pic.

I like the red lettering of the general grabbers. But that's about it

I saw those on another thread. And I agree that they look nice, especially if you are modding for an off road look. It would POP with red print of the Pro4X decals too.

black looks best Imo plus the white lettering looks like crap as the tires get older

Black. White can get stained for good and look like crap

I've had RWL on my cars and trucks and never had an issue with them deteriorating.
