What colour 6 spokes...

Post by Ckennedy »

I shall be getting my 6 spoke wheels towards the end of the month but I don't know what colour to go for. Needs to fit in with the rest of the bike so black was my first choice but I don't think it stands out enough to really show off the wheels. I was thinking gold but I am not sure and the missus certainly isn't keen on gold. Do I go red? But then I need the right shade.

So what colour to go for? I was trying to find some pics on Google of 6 spoke already painted up in different colours but my search did not reveal anything useful that could be photo shopped onto a pic of my bike to see how it matches. Any suggestions, pics or ideas appreciated.

Whats the advantage with the 6 spoke wheels, or is it just asthetics ??

purely asthetics mate, a number of people have weighed the different wheels and theres hardly any difference. I do think they look better tho.... :thumbup:

Red centres fadeing to black outers would look good on a slow red one :thumbup:
