Its like any other addition. Its what you like (and maybe the wife). I like whitewalls for an old school look, but not for a modern look. I'm planning a bobber design and would use WWT. WWT would look too busy on my R*. Thats just me.

WWW's are THE look for me.... I think they make the Road Star look like the machine it was built to be!

I also like the WWW look. When it's time to replace my tires, I'm thinking about going to the WWW. I'm just not sure how they would look on my purple bike.

I love the look of the whitewalls on my bike. My friend has the same year/ color bike but, got black wall tires when he changed them. Looking at them side by side they BOTH look really good but for ME I like white on the tires giving it that little extra bling
I have the Metzeler ME880 WWW and have been very happy with them. I do agree that when they get dirty they look crappy. I stick in on my stand use blech whitewall cleaner and a scrub brush takes about 10 min. to clean both tires. Just part of the deal

When I first started looking at the R* I didn't like the WWW look. Now that I have mine, I'm hooked on em. There are a lot of choices out there. Conti, Metzler, Dunlop, Avon, Bridgestone. Your preference. Seems like more people switch to Metzler.

To me black walls are all I would have because they would not look good with the black cherry paint of my bike and they are too big a hassle to keep clean......same with the spokes I like the spoke look but I aint gonna spend the time needed to keep them clean....Coug

I'm a fan of the WWW!!!! I think it gives it a classic look! But, this is all a matter of opinion. There is no right or wrong, and you should just go with what "You" want. I think you've all ready made your mind up!
