You KNOW I loves me some whitewalls, but not on alloys or 21" narrow wheels.

Neither alloys nor 21" rims suit the retro flavor of the whitewalls. 18" rims are as large as i would even consider using WWW on. Any larger and the WWW is really a narrow white wall.

+1 on the relationship between two toned bikes and WWW.

My $.02

It depends on whether you are into looks or performance. As we all know, black bikes are faster than other colors so it only stands to reason, that black tires are faster than white walled tires.

That's a bit racist. All bikes have a little black in them

Very well may be but the facts are the facts. The more black, the faster it goes. I just bought a black AC cover from another forum member this morning for my bike. Figure it's cheaper than a set of hot cams and will give me at least 10 more MPH on my top end and Lord only knows how much more low end torque I will get from it.
