Buy them. They'll look awesome. However, those wheels probably won't fit your bike if they are off a new heritage. I'm pretty sure the bearing size will be different. Unless you are planning on taking the tires off and remounting them. Then you're set.

Bathroom scrubbing bubbles and a rag. No problems. Yes, go whitewalls, worth the effort just like most anything in life.

Yup, that's what Uncle G. uses to keep his whitewalls white. Easy, really. Put the bike on a lift, spray one side at a time and wipe. All the brake dust melts right off. Doesn't hurt the chrome a bit.

A bit of WD-40 sprayed on a rag will remove the grease.

I'm the odd one out... but I think black walls look better on that color scheme. Certain colors just can't pull off the white wall look.

I'll add that if you stay on top of the whitewalls and clean them on a pretty regular basis, they're not difficult to keep clean at all...even the back ones, provided you jack up the rear end of the bike.

I just spin the wheel and run a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser over them, and voila...bright white again.
