Wade, For me it depends on the theme of your truck. I like the raised white letters on old school wheels like polished slots, 15" truck rallies, some baby moons, or even corvette style rallies. More modern wheels billet, torque thrust style or chrome I prefer black walls. But hey that's just me...you need to do what you like. HERE is a good thread. and some pics below.
Thanks for the input Mike and the link. Seems like there's no serious animosity one way or the other! I guess I'll sleep on it!

Man this is crazy! I would have never thought to do this, I would have been stuffing late model goodies under the dash like Drew. I can see how this could be used to make a crew cab truck too. I'd like to see some more close ups on the 8th wonder and how it fits between late model firewall and the upper portion of the old cowl.

Hey bundeber, welcome to all the fun! Here are some pics of the 8th wonder in action. (remember it's still a work in progress)

Nuff said.

P.S. The decision on the raised white letters on my tires (in or out) was sort of made for me,,,I found a different tire/wheel combo that I liked better. The tires don't have raised white letters, so problem solved.
