I put a set of rims like yours on my 2012 with black walls. Bike originally came with the real narrow whitewalls.
I do like the wide whitewalls with wire spoked rims but they are heck to keep looking nice.

Just my humble opinion. Run blackwall tires. The whitewall tire look is good on a bike made to look like a classic, retro ride.

It’s a shame there is nothing available today that can measure white knuckles & big a$$ smiles.

I love my White walls. If you want to keep them looking good they have to be maintained or they will look horrible. They give the bike a whole different look. Go for it !
