Raised White Letters....Inside or Outside

[oldchevelle541]

My 1969 GTX from previous owner put on a set of MasterCraft radial tires and left the white letters facing the underside of the car. I see more and more folks doing this and because it is not a popular brand I am thinking I will leave it as is. Car is T5 exterior. Does anyone have a 69 GTX T5 car with Mastercrafts on it with letters facing out. Would like to see a photo.

Nope. I don’t like the white letters out on that set up. If it ain’t redlines keep the letters in.

I always ran them inside. Goodyear Eagle STs in 1991.

It depends on the car, and your own style. I'm a letters-out kinda guy... but I admit I'm stuck in 1982.

With your car trimmed in black on the bottom, In looks good. White letters out would make it look too busy with the wheels, all the trim, and the 2 tone paint.

Although that does look nice. IMO, whites out make a car look pretty where black out make it look more racy.

Pre '68, letters in. Also, No white letters on my trucks...

I like white letters out on factory wheels like Rallyes or Road Wheels/Magnum 500's, also and with redlines for that old Polyglass look and on the inside on steelies unless redlines and inside aftermarket Cragar or Weld type racing wheels.

I made an exception for my four speed car in 2016. The only one I've owned since 1983 that didn't run black walls or red lines. During my high school days there was a matched set of Saddle Bronze T7 '69 GTXs in town. Both had factory road wheels. One car ran raised white letter Polyglas, the other one ran red lines. They both looked great.

Always do it on my old cars, doesn’t look good on modern muscle in my opinion

I've been a white letters showing kinda guy ever since they came out. The Master Craft lettering are not the most attractive, so maybe that's why they are turned in.

Your whole garage is makin me jealous.....

I grew up in the 70’s and the white letters out were the cool thing to have. The choice is yours but you definitely have a sweet ride

That car looks mean. More business looking with the black walls IMO.

 

[eldubb440]

depends on the tire imo

That GTX is very nice just how it is.
Letters in always. I'm not advertising for the tire company. Too busy of a look, takes away from the car.

Unless it's the factory Goodyear polyglas GT tires
