Title: Orange wheels...again!
Post by: Mr.7 on September 26, 2005, 04:50:43 PM
Okay, you are probably thinking that I am all obsesed with orange wheels (especally Pandy) but I just wanted to show you what I had in mind now that I have the knowledge of how to post a picture.

My bike is almost that color of blue and I think the orange wheels look great!

P.S: and I promise that this is the last time I will mention orange wheels...at least for a while :lol:

Hmm. I'm thinking about painting my wheels right now. My bike is Perl Novelty Black and I was going to go for the matte black with a thin red racing stripe for the wheel, but now I'm thinking orange. It's really more of a bronze than an orange to me. Yup. You get the thumbs up from me on that color. :thumb:

Looks like Ca$h Money to me, paint your GS green and cover it in dollar sign watermarks and you're set  :mrgreen:  I agree though, vibrantly coloured wheels appeal a lot to me. I don't think I'd have the balls to paint my wheels though heh, maybe just the treads on my tyres.

I dont know if youd get that same effect with orange spray paint, I do like it though. If someone does it I'd like to see a pic.
Maybee like a burnt orange.

I was refering to this not your sig, which is painfully close to Pandy's sig.

Those wheels in the pic are gold not orange.

yup...go for it....orange and blue are opposing colors on the color wheel which create a very complimentary contrasting look....color theory 101

long live orange....the new red :thumb:

I think he knew they weren't orange.  But I'm going to do orange wheels soon.

Are you sure about that? It looks like there's a rear rotor, they just switched the positions of the rotor and sprocket on the rear wheel. No?
