Default Debadged & White Lettering

Yesterday I bought new tires for the truck. I went with the Toyo Open Country A/T in the stock 275/60/20 size. I love the tire, but I just can't tell if the white lettering looks weird with the 20" rim. Maybe it's weird looking to me because my other tires didn't have white lettering, but I can't tell if I should have them switched around.

Also, I de-badged the Ram 1500 signs on both sides of the doors, and took the Hemi logos off too, and I just think it looks way too plain, somewhat regretful of taking them off. I wasn't sure if you guys knew of some places that made some custom looking badges I could possibly put back on the truck though, maybe some with a little bit of black and chrome mixed together. Definitely looks odd all debadged now with white lettered tires....any thoughts what you think I could do to bring the look back?

yea i would turn them around to have the black outside. the white lettering is hard to keep clean and over time will just be dirty all the time. for the emblem maybe get the new style hemi badges...

Hey man it looks good debaged......i agree with silver....flip them around....i had white letters once and hated it....not only cleaning them but when it wears off it looks bad imo. just flip them to the blackwall side and i think you will be happy.

And from the looks of everything else on the truck you will be done, and it looks sweet..... or you could make your brother completely jealous and do your rims.....and that would look sick as hell.....for a idea, search for factory painted wheels/rims, i acutally think its in one feejay started titled show me your black wheels (something along those lines) and somewhere there in the middle RaiderJay postedsome pics by a user Heliopilot and he had the same wheels and he painted his black....i think it looks sick as hell all blacked out.....and im sure there would not be another one around you that looked like yours.

ok saved you the trouble.

you could paint ur badges to black so you would have everything black cept for the rims.

I am thinking of painting flat black on badges so i would have black and brown theme. Not many people have almond brown/gold trucks.
