I have a BD FJ, and have blacked it out with a white bezel. I just bought some factory black steelies and 285/70-17 BFG KM2 with RWL. I'm not sure if I should put the white lettering in or out. I was considering painting the center caps white also. I was going to powder coat the rims white but I think they will a pain to keep clean and my guy wanted $75 a rim to do it. If anyone has any pictures/suggestions I would love some feed back.

white letters in, besides if you go offroad you will soon have very large whitewall .. and it just looks better imo. the fj is not a ss super sport. now you decide..
With this set of BFG's I went with the letters out for the "Old School" look.
They are a pain in the butt to keep clean and are getting chewed up on the trail. The next set is going to have the letters in.
If you want the old school look put them out. If you don't care for old school then put them in.

Depending on your wheeling conditions (it's rocks out here), it can be hard to keep them looking nice... mine look terrible, but I love me some letters! (some kind of bizarre fetish I think)
This is one of mine about 1/2 way down the first trail run I took them on....

Something there is that doesn't love a wall, that wants it down...
I prefer the RWL inside, as well, on black steelies and center caps - much less flashy and low maintenance. Also, as mentioned above, rocks and curbs don't treat the RWL very nicely.

For the reasons already stated, if you mainly use your rig on the street --white lettering out -- and if you mainly use your rig off-road -- white letting in or better yet just get blackwalls.
It always amuses me to see the white lettering peaking out from underneath a car when the tire is reversed. Doesn't look right and it's kinda like catching a peak of a woman's underwear, just not as sexy.
