Default Bw / ww / www?????

Going to be needing some new rubber this year. What do you think would look best on here? Black walls? White walls? Wide White walls? Opinions. I think I'm leading towards Metzler ME880's.

I'm mostly interested in your thoughts about the WWW. I like the current look and I'm not a fan on the BW. Anyone good with photoshop?

I think the WWW would look better than the thin WW. I've considered WWW on my bike but it's all white and I dont know how it would look.

WWW should look pretty cool with the silver. Be advised going to www is going to entail a lot more maintenance to keep em looking good. My primary reason for losing them, and going to bw, after years of the www. Although I had laced wheels (which I think look better with www) and that required new tubes, and strips at every tire change. Just became more of a pain than they were worth. Actually, I'd recommend chroming the 9=spokes you have, and going to black walls. I did, much, much less cleaning time all the way around, and I think it looks better. Just my $.02.....

my vote goes to BW for your bike's current look. HOWEVER, agree with bigskyhd about going with CHROME 9-spokes

I liked WWW but just have regular WW.
WWW require too much work to keep clean. You can barely see my small strip of white on my tires.

Tried to PS some www but will have to work on it later - its a bit more time consuming.

I am a fan of blackwall tires just about all the time , but on some motorcycles the wide white walls do look good....just don't care for the narrow white walls...JMHO...though!
It is your bike and you should run what you like....
