Re: opinions needed
white or silver
bikes bought dead or alive crash damged , none runners , abandond projects
Re: opinions needed
well bsm the colour wheel suggests a sort of sandy yellow colour (horrible) i would suggest black, maybe that sort of polished gunmetal porsche black?

Silver would look good with blue rim tape

Gold with either polished rims or solid colour with "Honda VTR Firestorm" rim tapes to break the colour up........but thats just my opinion
Re: opinions needed
yellow, they'll turn quicker, thus making the bike faster!!

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re: opinions needed
i looked into carbon dipping them, but because they would have to do both sides of the wheel(unlike a car) it would cost £100 each wheel....ouch!!!!
i like the idea of white but i wouldn't want to keep cleaning them.
silver or gold are reasonable options, i'll have to have a search on the interweb to see if i can find a similar colour bike with silver/gold wheels.
i could always go with the same blue because i will have lots of paint left over, but i think that would be to much blue.
i would seriously consider gold if i was to get my forks redone in gold(and for tonys benefit, not real gold )
keep the options coming guys.....

Re: opinions needed
I am having mine done in the same bronze colour as the engine cases on the bike. When they get sorted (eventually) I will stick some piccies on here for you.
I had to recover the wheels from the last place as they had them for too long with no finish date in sight.
