I have already diched the white walls and I have never liked the
wire spoked wheels and the bike looks just fine

No doubt in my mind that the WWW gotta stay on my RKC. The blacks just don't quite get it. Comet and a brush, and they're done in less than 10 minutes.

I switch up between WWW and BW every time I change tires. Of course, I actually ride mine so the tires do wear out. ha ha ha

I never rode mine with the www and spokes, black chrome spokes I would like.

I second the Wesleys bleech white and Mr Clean Magic Eraser. Spray it on and a little rubbing (not much) then rinse and they are spotless.

I really wanted to go the Dunlop E3's with my RK standard, but didn't like the black walls with the laced wheels.

My compromise was to put on a clean SG or RG front fender. Looks good to me now.

p.s. E3's rock all over the 402's. Performance, handling and longevity.

Will this kill the classic look?

You can ditch the WWW's ...however I think you will need to make other changes to the bike so it won't look like a "classic" missing its WWW's
