Default New Tires - Possibly Whitewalls

I know most of you guys don't seem to like whitewalls on Sportys but I was thinking with the tank being half white and half red it might work. Any thoughts? Can I anyone photoshop a set of whitewalls for me?
Thanks

I think my wife's bike rocks white walls well.



Her hardtail project has double whitewalls. It's in my sig pic.

But, keeping the tires as white as your paint may be a chore.

I dig your paint by the way. Kind of a vintage flavor. You should look in to one of those old school front fenders like this.

I think they would look great on your bike.

Those whitewalls look nice on your girl's bike.

I was thinking the same thing about the vintage look of my bike and how whitewalls would bring that out.

I'm not seeing it on your bike.
I like the whites, but mostly on the more vintage lookers.
But your color scheme reminds me of the scramblers. Done up with Knobbies and high pipes is how I envision your bike. (Bags would have to go though.)
Hey, you asked for an opinion.

I question whether w/w's would look good on that 21.
