Good looking wheels! Red stripe will give them the "Night Rod Special" look.

Don't much give a $hit one way or the other - it's your bike, do what ever you want.

..who pee'd in your Cheerios?....he's looking for opinions, not apathy..

I agree with pinstripe, AS LONG AS, it's the same color as on bike...and very thin......

Like others have said match the pinstriping on the bike and I think it would look great. It reminds me of the old hot wheel tires in a cool way. Do it I say

Would be unique with pinstripe giving it an edgy throwback to the rims on older muscle cars.

As for a womans' opinion, I like it. You could always do what I did with my streetbob and instead of the entire red, use the HD paint pen in red and paint the wording on the tire. I did it in orange to match my plug wires and other orange accessories and I loved it. Was a large pain in the a$$ to do. Very cheap mod but unless you remove the tire, you will spend a lot of time on the ground in the garage.
I think it would look good with some more red. It really stands out against the denim.
