^^^^ I hope someone isn't multiple voting...Smile

When your tyres are covered in mud you won't see the white letters, so you'll be fine in the 110 Thumbs Up

Cheers

bear100, to be helpful though...in all honesty, I forgot to tell the fitters to put the white lettering in, and when the car turned up I couldn't be bothered. But, I think it's more Defender like with white letters in. Very subjective choice though Thumbs Up MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html

I have them inside on the 110, but to the outside on the Disco. Thin I'd stick with that if I were to be fitting them again tomorrow. Dirty Deeds - Done Dirt Cheap

My Mum used to say (along with such gems as "Fur coat and no knickers", or when as a little kid I cried when I grazed my knee: "Never mind, the more you cry, the less you pee", and when in later years I'd bring home a particularly slutty-looking girlfriend: "Mmm, SHE won't die a-wondering"): "If you've got it, flaunt it... but if you've got to flaunt it, you ain't got it".

Peter

But I actually like white lettering on big wheels/tyres!

No to RWL. I fitted mine inside and my mate said what had I done? Should have been outside. Well I said I prefer inwards. So do what you want, it's your truck to do as you please.

Depends on the rest of the scheme going on with the vehicle.

I chose out as the lettering compliments and highlights the replacement lower driver's door hinge:

One issue I had with 'in' is that the lettering is still quite visible (esp. on the front) if the viewer is far enough away - but still close enough to be able to discern it.

( A leaking caliper, axle/hub oil seal, swivel seal will solve that though! Mr. Green )

But IMO without dirt/etc. it basically reads like 'oh so you're trying to hide it ...' - which is more of an affectation than just not caring and going with standard (which I'd guess is 'out'). Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...
