White letters out or black?

Black letters out. I like white wall tires on old skool cars, but until the tire companies start paying me to display their logos the OWL on my tires will stay mounted inside.

Polished or chrome lug nuts if you have polished or chrome center caps; black lug nuts with black center caps.
 
Black out. But if you notice i removed all badges

I seriously did not expect this many responses! And it is almost a 50/50 split. NOW 1 MORE QUESTION...
Lug nuts. Chrome or black on a GunmetalGrey rim?
I like the chrome on mine but often wonder if black wouldn't be better. If the surrounding studs weren't silver I think I would go black on the lug nuts.

A few years ago I got Falken AT2 tires after they did okay at that everyman thing on the Savvy rig. They were still considered off brand and I figured I'd just own it. White out. I still use off-brand and the last set the guy asked and I gave him the line "If you're going to run overseas crap you gotta own it" He said, "seriously?" I said yes. He had a good laugh. Now I get a kick out of the ridiculous names, Mudstar, Rangeblazer, Voracio, Coragia, Terrain Beast, Repulsor when I see them on trucks.

A few friends I wheel with are the plasti-dip black KO2 with the letters on the inside crowd. I get it, I was there once. Now I enjoy showing up with MUDSTAR RADIAL M/T in black and white, they get a good laugh and it's worth it.
 
I've looked at a lot of sites trying to find gunmetal lugs, but all I have found are the chrome and black. I suppose I could paint/powercoat the lugs... guess I'll just wait till Tuesday (rims and tires get mounted and installed) to see how it looks. I have the stock chrome on stock Rubi rims now. If i don't like the bling then I go black. If I still don't like it, perhaps a new survey question. I am well known for lack of style. Still dress the same as college/army days. Still mostly army surplus. Cheap and durable.

Might look for "black chrome"
 
A Wrangler is a rare "modern" vehicle that doesn't look too dumb with the white letters out, but since this isn't the early 90's any more. I don't do it.

When I bought the Jeep new, while letters were out. The next 2 sets of tires were blackwalls out. Now, I'm back to white letters out and it feels oh so right...

Last time I got tires after the install I told the tech that I wanted white out. I don't think he was having a good day because he didn't take the joke well.

Like they say "Once you go Black, you never go back " tires I mean.
