Title: what color should I do my wheels
Post by: guitarking135 on May 17, 2009, 10:26:47 AM
So I was going to polish my wheels today well I got into it and realized that the centers of the wheels would be a whole lot more work and time and effort and general pain in the butt that I really don't want to mess with... Basically The spoke area is textured and I sanded and sanded then well sanded some more and reallized that I couldn't get all the black out.

all this being said heres my bike what colors would you all suggest painting the inner part of the rim?

Rims with polished lips look pretty awesome! Less painting to do too, although I guess you could toss a clear coat over the polished part to protect it....

for some reason I kinda like the gold with that little yellow or gold stripe you got goin down the fairing. maybe a few more highlights with the gold.

I think I'm going to go green I have the most of that left over and given the green blue and orange are all custom mixed colors I got to be conservitive I'm going to go with a polished lip though

I'm sorry, I know everyone has there own taste but I just think its too much green. i like the color, but just too much of it.
Title: Re: what color should I do my wheels
Post by: guitarking135 on May 18, 2009, 10:24:45 AM
I understand the too much green but I'm polishing basically everything but the spokes so...

if it were me... I'd stick with black.  Looks the best out of any of those options and its a cheap easy solution  :thumb:

+1 to this,

bronze would look sick!!!   in a good way that is

i think yamaha has an silver r6 with a bronze wheel from factory, check out their website and see if you like the color of that wheel! they might have it on the black bike too, better contrast to see it. let me know what you think.
