Change of wheel colour... WHat you think?

[ThEGr33k]

What colour rims? Ive been thinking what might look good so I used my amazing(ly bad) photoshop skills to change the colour. The red didnt work so well to be honest :smt011 but it gives an idea of what it may look like. The first is as it is now.

Let me know what you think...

[hovis]

look good black

[simesb]

I quite like the red - seems to go well with the decals :-)

[Spikenipple]

I reckon they look better black/grey.

[lukemillar]

Is that white tyre pen I spy!?? :laughat:

Well, you did buy a Falco :wink:

Enough said!

[mister c]

Yeh Red looks nice :)

[muffles]

Why do you want yellow wheels? :D

I vote for black or grey. Or Maybe copy Sv-Robo and do chrome :p (just kidding btw)

[ThEGr33k]

Well. I did it on my mates comp... His monitor is a bit wierd with colours. So as you might have guessed it did actually look gold. Sigh.

I know. I guess that mean im cool and I know exactly what Im doing. Not many great road bikes that do it all and look so damn fine. :cool:

Now now, you may as well have said "I know you are but what am I?" :smt043 :p

he he :cool:

Im glad you get the humour.

[plowsie]

Gold will look crap, however a very bright and striking yellow may look really cool :) I voted red :)

[simesb]

I note red is winning; when you gonna do it?

[Stu]

If it's the exact red of your decals & you're going to keep it clean, then OK

Otherwise nothing wrong as they are.
Gold will not work - too many colours already & no gold on the bike to tie it in with.

[ThEGr33k]

Callipers... But yea your right.

Well I dunno when I might have it done. Im thinking of changing the wheels to some nice Oz ones when I can get my insurance kicked into shape so ill probably wait till then...

[Binky]

Yellow/ Gold will look really silly, especially with the other colours of the bike.
It'd be the bike equivelant of this shirt.

Leave them as they are IMO.

[DMC]

Looks best as it does now IMO :cool:

You know... Thats the second time Ive seen you doing that. You got issues with hoops? :rolleyes:

[sv-robo]

And whats wrong with the chrome?,looks amazing imo as well as many others peoples,really catches the sun:D.

Greek,it's difficult to say which colour looks best on the falco,so i would say leave them as they are or go for the red as that seems to work well.hth.

[jimmy-james]

Black with polished rims mate!

[rob13]

I like white but might not go with silver too well

[ThEGr33k]

Aye white I like... This is white(cream) with gold bits.

What id LOVE to do would be this.

Heheh...well, it's an acquired taste, I don't think it looks too bad on yours but it does still remind me of those yank bikes that they tart up...Pimp My Ride style, you know the ones I mean ;)

I would probably prefer your bike with black wheels....meaner looking :D

Heheh....I do love all-black yeah... :D

[Razor]

Paint the bike blue and white with white rims...

[rob13]

Nick how about a black & white colour scheme? Bit similar to that Gold scheme but black instead of gold? Aprilia seem to do some nice liveries on the new Tuono/RSV Factories, particularly that flame sort of finish (in 2 colours).

[ThEGr33k]

Its something I might look into Mr Rob, I like the idea! Ill have to see what the local painters make to it and see if I can be arsed to waist my money :p

[rob13]

Thing is though, if you fancy a fresh look but you're more than happy with the bike, why not? Itll be unique to you, youve still got your (within finances) and itll look the nuts.

Personally, I love the new Aprilia liveries. I love the blue Tuono with the Chequered flag on the tank (which numbers has :( ). Im actually quite fond of the lairy gold frames on the factory versions too.

Im not so sure about the gold frame. I mean if they did the subframe and got the wheels and the frame the same colour it would be a lot better. :)

Ill be looking into the new colours. In fact I might see if my limited photoshop ability will let me do what you suggest. Will be fun to do. :)
