Depends on the bike. The THIN whitewalls look OK........all Electra Glides used to come with them years ago. The wide whites only look good on certain bikes like the Road King Classic and Softail Deluxe, or a classic older Harley.........other than that, NO. Wide whites on your bike? I don't think they'd look good. The thin ones would look great.
Looks good:
Looks silly:
But, everyone's taste is different.

No help here. I believe both statements above to be correct. Personally, I'd never put white walls on my Ultra, but have them on my Softail Deluxe and love 'em.
I think whitewalls suggest traditional. In general mags are not traditional. But someone a few years ago asked the same question of their black and white police bike with mag wheels. I thought WWWs would complement that bike.
I bought my street glide with whitewalls on it from PO and I think they look like ****, but I'm a budget biker so they are still on there since they are almost brand new.
Deluxe or King with spokes are the only thing I'd ever buy them for.
This winter they will be coming off when I powder coat wheels and fork lowers.

OP, I would think that NWT would make that bike pop. It would set the tires out from the wheels. right now they look too blended.
Fuzzy, those WWT don't do all that black justice.
Yeah..
I didn't want to have the bike down this summer for the powder coat and new tires are $$ when you figure I'll be doing bearings and brake pads along with the powder.
I'll have some WW 402s in good shape for sale this winter..lol
