Default Wheel advice needed

I have an 06 RK Classic in cobalt blue / silver two tone. I am wanting to replace the spoke wheels with some mag style wheels to do away with the inner tubes. My questions are:
1. CanI reuse the same whitewall tires without the inner tube on the new wheels or will new ones be needed?
2. The wheels I found that I like have black shading on them will they look ok on a dark blue bike?

Before anyone says it I bought the bike used so I didn't have any choice in how it came to me. I'm looking to do something a little different and want some opinions please.

I give the sponsor on this site HOGPRO a call and ask them. I've seen some of their wheels and they look sharp.

All of the Harley-Davidson Dunlop series tires can be run with or withouttubes.

Check out the RK Custom to see how it looks. It comes with solid wheels. There are some good take off wheels out there from people changing to other types of wheels.
