I just swapped my Spokes and WWWs out with HD 9 spoke rims and Blackwall Elite 3s. I love the look.

Thanks to everyone for the input. I like it both ways, but definitely think I will go BWs if I change to mags. I'm kinda partial to a motorcycle having spoke wheels though.. Hopefully she'll be done in 3 weeks or less so I'll post pics of what I did to my King for under $ XXXX

I like the looks of the WWW. My problem was with the laced wheels, I had to run tubes. Every tire change required new tubes, and strips. Just added expense I really didn't need. Also, it gets to be a PITA to clean those www and keep em looking fresh and clean. Brake dust, especially on the rear is brutal. So, my vote, wear em out, and then go to black walls, with nine-spoke chromes. Very cheap, you can always pick up nine spokes cheap on Ebay, and then send them to ChromeProsPlating for chrome work. $550 for both. Much easier to keep clean, and they always look nice. JMO

I have a fantastic jack, and a fantastic ol' lady. With this combo , I never have to clean my own white walls. I put it on the jack, and she cleans my Ultra from head to toe, with EXTRA time spent on the WHITE WALLS !!

Yup. What he said! If you change the rims to say a black cast rim, I'd go blackwall. Otherwise www.

the www's don't look bad...kind of like a new pair of white sneakers...but I think the black walls give a bit more performance image..and tie into the blacked out theme better..imho
nice looker btw!
