In my opinion, white walls look best with wire wheels. I'm not a fan of them on an XB though. Wire wheels I would accept, especially since I seen the wire wheel thread.

I wanted some white letter tires for my car, but nobody makes any in 17 inch. They hardly make any at all anymore.

Any tire can be white lettered, or a few other colors, by using tire paint pens:

Yeah, the bike in the BadWeb posts linked by the other guys above is mine.

I used whitewall tire paint as no one (that I've found) makes whitewall sport tires.

I'm going to have to redo them this winter though as the high amount of silicone on new tires is making it peel and the black/brown bleed through. I was warned ahead of time this might be the case.

Also, keeping them clean is a constant battle, but the look is exactly what I wanted so it's worth it.

Btw, the paint is like $25/pint + ~$15 S&H from a guy in Iceland, so it's one of my cheaper mods, haha. It's meant for antique Mercedes and was developed by a chemist, so it's quality.

It can be found here: http://www.mbzponton.org/valueadded/other/tirepain t.htm

I have never had any luck with those tire paint pens.

I used the paint pen on my last set of tires. I was just curious how it would look.

Spidey, Ulynut pointed that out to me before, i took those rims off so fast after. The part i didnt color was blocked by the swing arm.

Yes i didn't do much coloring as a kid. While you were coloring i was hacking DOS boxes : )
