I really would like some White walls, but honestly I can't afford radial wide whites.
I've heard that Bias ply WWW's are much cheaper, but have some downsides. any thoughts?

Jon,

Bias ply tires aren't really any cheaper than radials. Some are even more expensive. Coker tires is the best plae to get bias ply tires from in my experience. As far as downsides to bias plies, they don't ride as smooth as radials. But, like anything else, you get used to it. You trade off looks for comfort. But it's not really that bad. They used them for decades before radials were commonplace.
