Default White walls cast wheels

2009 RKC currently with white wall tires and the spoked wheels. It bothers me if I ever get a flat I’ll be stuck on the side of the road and will need a tow instead of being able to patch it and keep riding. It is a touring bike after all.

Seems a few ultra limited wheels are available locally, which are one piece wheels.

Anyone have white wall tires and one piece wheels? Does it look dorky? Trying to find a balance between the “classic” look of the bike and the ease of fixing road issues.

You could always go with fat spoke wheels. Those are tubeless. Some are a bit speedy though.

They came with my ‘99 Classic, but were replaced by the previous owner. Spokes look better, but mags have them beat in every other aspect.
