You're probably going to spend some time on the wheels & tires no matter which style you have so the wide whites don't add a bunch of extra work.
I'm with you 100%. The whitewalls make the bike. I also use Wesley's. Makes it easy to keep the whitewalls clean.

I really think the Wide Whites make the RK Classic, look like the "Classic" it really is.
Agreed 100%

lol... that's good stuff man.

I definitely respect everyones decisions to put blackwalls on their bike.

Different sled, same issue. I went with bw's on the deluxe mostly because I prefer the look.

BW on a RKC just does not look right for me..

Anyone consider the thin WW instead? Compromise between the two..

I do like some of the RK styles with BW's but the two tone classic's especially look great with full white walls. (IMHO)


Easy to clean with the proper tool......long handled, very soft brush and cheap cleaner. Nice easy rinse while cleaning...(easier than polishing all the chrome)
