On a white bike I think all black tires look sweet! But like I read in a previous post, it's really up to you...personally the contrast is what really brings out the white walls so you won't have much of that with a white bike...

I think the white walls will look great, especially if you are going with a pearl white. You might want to check a couple different tires out because the shade of white on the tires will be different. Like someone said before if you get the creamy white ones they will always look dirty on your white bike.

The only 18" WW is made by maxxix tires. You can find them on ebay.

I think as long as the white on the tins is pretty close to the colour of the WWW it should be fine.A bit of contrast is needed however,so as tank decal,pinstripes etc.

Seriously i think it would look good either way so its your call.FWIW one of my favourite bikes is a Road Glide i saw,all white with subtle tribal pinstripes on the tank and fenders and a 21' front wheel,no whitewalls.It looked wild .........

The pic is not a Heritage or Deluxe but you get the idea...

I do like the RG! It does look wild! Thanks Anibusss for the link, I think you guys helped me make up my mind. I am going with no WW's at this time.

Now I have a couple more things on my list to get, and I will start ripping her down.
