70's!!! JMHO.

Repop steel "Chevrolet Disc Brake" caps. Wheels are 15" chrome Vette rallys.

BW out. Then to confuse people, shave all the lettering on both sides so they can't tell brand or size.

It depends on the brand of tire you are purchasing. If you are going to get El Cheapo Radials, then by all means, put the letters in (black out). If you are going to get some good BFG Radial T/A's go with letters out. There. My $.02.
Agree. If they are a good name, then put the letters out. They look good either way.

Those are sweet, do they just pop over the lugs? Will they work with a truck rally?

Re: Help me choose which Tires???

I voted black out because I like the clean look!
Infact I like the clean look so much that my next tire purchase will probably be these black smoothies from diamond back

I agree desertrat. If he already has the tires though he can shave them himself. Takes a nice dics grinder and time to do them.
