I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Below are two pictures I've found to help me decide.

Not a huge fan of the narrow whites... they look a bit off to me.

Try some narrow white walls. They look pretty good with cast wheels.

Great answers guys. I know laced wheels look better and I keep thinking about changing to Fat Daddy Spoke wheels which I know would work with WWW's but not sure about running a tube.
I do want to change my front wheel to a 21'' (purely for looks) but haven't found a mag wheel I like yet, it would be great if I could find one that matched the standard rear wheel as I don't like to see mis-matched wheels on a bike.
Must admit I do like the chrome 8 spoke wheels, just wish they did them in a 18 or 21 inch front rim
Thanks for the comments about my RK, most appreciated.

Thanks bnfzep for that pic you posted gives me a very good idea on how mine will look as that red RK is near identical to mine in looks. I would go for the narrow white walls but I believe you can only get them in Dunlops and I was going to try Shinkos (Collin, bike is going to LA's for fitting, was yours done there) as been hearing good reports about them. Also been trying to determine if Avon do narrow white walls.
Anyway guys, keep the pics coming, buying new tires very soon as got to get ready for riding Rte 66 later in the year
