Reckon I got burned out on WW's when I started driving back in the 60's
Had to get WW's cause Very few tire makers made BW tires. So we used to just turn the WW's to the inside on our car wheels.
I now do however like them On a two tone bike.. but only when the paint jobs are White over any color. Dont care for WW's on any solid color bike.
Just me.
I like this one below..
If the paint job is whatever (color) over white like below, IMO is does not look as good.
I do like the looks of the FB chrome wheelss or about any bike with spokes.
I really like the looks of the big spokes like these below.
So about any chrome wheel (solid, spoke, Mag) with BW's for Ur bike would be my choice.
Still bottom line,, Ur bike, Ur choice.. do what makes U happy.

We just picked up this Fatboy, and the GF was thinking about whitewalls. I have the ME880s on my RK and I think they look pretty nice; classic look.
Of course it's a black & white bike, and with the WW it looks pretty good. However, a white bike with whitewalls? Won't that be too white-wahsed?
Also thinking, we may go with either chrome fatboy wheels or Heritage-style spoked wheels.
What y'all think?
