I used to love my old Schwinn BMX (ive actually still got it tucked away in my shed). Keep up the momentum now mate lol after the many years break on this project. Id go for classic black tyres or possibly black with a white wall.

Skin walled would look best. Those bars look horrendous, I hope it's a trophy bike which you ain't planning on riding lol :)

get smaller bars there too tall for the frame imo, tyres wise are you going to be on a bmx track or street? if street and ya going for mid/old skool then look for these pretty hard to get hold of these days but i think there a really good tyre

bars wise for the look i think your going towards these bars could work
