Silver vs gold- democracy in action
 

Northwind reserves the right to ignore the results of this poll :)

What looks better? The silver wheels to match the frame and stripes, or the gold for a bit of show and bling. The gold photos are better, and cleaner, and have the hugger and bellypan on, so don't let that sway you...

I'm not usually a fan of gold on bikes, but I do like those.
Maybe I just have something against silver wheels, since I'm changing mine soon.

Gold - with gold stripes :wink:

Presumably the gold would be painted, while for the silver you could have your original wheels polished?

I'd say silver.................but then we have purple wheels so what do I know?

Tbh Id say Silver.

The Gold wheels would look ok if you also did the frame in gold imho. :D

The gold...deffo. Looks good. More Bling.

:puker:
Gold should be minimal at best.

Nah, the silver ones are standard, the gold ones are powdercoated. This is how we did it before Photoshop ;)

The silver is very subtle, the gold makes the bike stand out more. I'd go for the gold.

I like the gold better. If you go a bit further and paint the stripes Yellow / Gold then you have got the Team Lotus paint scheme from the 60's before they started putting sponsorship on their cars.
