I love white walls, I also love black.. it all depends on your taste and direction.. I would suggest you try photoshop and see.. it worked well for me.

Post a pic of the bike. If it has the stock solid wheels it might look a bit strange. Hard to visualize.

I would have to agree with doghair. I think it would look a little strange with the solid wheels.

Looks are definitely a personal thing....I'm not a big fan of cleaning tires constantly.
