Default Whitewalls on my Lo (with pictures)

well, sort of white walls. after a little mishap with wheel cleaner, i decided to black out my rims and add a white lip. when all was said and done, it actually looked like i had whitewalls on it. whitewalls were my original intention, but anyone that has looked for a set of white walls for a fatboy lo knows that it just won't happen without paying big money to have them custom done (or with mixing bias and radial tires which is a no-no)

I think I remember the thread and I learned from your mistake. Thank you for that. As you say, soap and water only on the tires.

Your bike looks awesome now, so good job. Great looking bike.

Your bike looks great, I'm not into whitewalls but they do make your bike look good.

it may have been a accident but it totally makes the bike look right . without that bit of white on the wheels there would be too much black , this balances everything nicely .
