I have ww's on 2 of the 3 bikes in my garage and they only get a special cleaning maybe twice a year and the special cleaning only adds 2 minutes to the bike wash.

I think they would look great on your bike with or without spokes but spokes and ww's do make a better combo.

I think they look good depending on the bike but like it has been said its all up to personal preference and what you like if you think they look good go for it,personally I don't want them on mine but think they look good on others and yes be ready to do some scrubbing if you get them

I like them. I wish they offered more sizes with www and wish they weren't so freaking expensive compared to BW.

I think it all depends on the bike, they can really compliment the overall look. I prefer them on spoked wheels, but I think they will look great on your bike.

I think they look great on some on ok at best on others. I love the look on mine, but I do run them on the grundy side a lot. Not to hard to keep clean (bleaches white wall ceaner), I just try to ride as much as posible.

I think they look fantastic, but they are a pain in the ass to keep clean. You'll get to the point where you dread cleaning them.....it's easy with a stand (jack) and Simple Green & water, but still a pain....JMHO

From the looks of your bike you keep it looking good and don't mind cleaning... I had black walls and when it was time I made the switch to Metzler 880 WW... One of the best decisions I've made.
