wheel painting

i want to get my rims powder coated but not too sure what colour to paint them ....i`m gettin tired of trying to clean the road grime out the pitting of the rear wheel ..i cant find any pics anywhere on the net.i got a candy grand blue with silver frame...any ideas/comments would be great

Jimmynumbers used to have a candy blue SV with blue metallic wheels... Lovely. Nicest blue I've ever seen. But it's hard to match with powdercoat. The standard silver looks good too, I reckon, but I know what you mean about keeping them clean- mine's wearing silver just now and it looks awful as soon as it gets slightly dirty. My grey didn't show dirt, and the gold just got darker

i think i just saw his pic on a different link..i know what you mean about colour match cause they looked slightly purple in comparison to the bike...yours seem fine cause the green and gold do actually go well.didn`t want white cause they are to hard to keep clean, was thinking of like a flourecent orange colour but cant picture it fully

by the way northie what indicators have you got on the front of yours...they dont look like standard to me..

Viney has/had mad orange wheels, they look ace... I chose the gold to go with the green, but had them with the black wheels for a while... Looked alright.



But I'm not sure it'd go with blue.

Oh aye, you're right, those are aftermarket indicators, Motrax... Really good, way more visible than OEM, even though they're flushmount, but unfortunately they leave an ugly gap where the stock ones were unless you do something clever (or remarkably stupid, such as filling the gaps and respraying your entire bike in your garage)

na i think blue bike and gold wheels its ringing "subaru" too much in my ears..all i need is some pics of different colour wheels so i can put it into perspective.ask ang google come up with nowt.might try and get photo shop up and running get a pic of mine on ang get messin with colours

is this pic of your bike b4 it were green..

They're all the same bike Well, apart from the pushbike. That's WRP headers, they go down the side of the oil filter for some reason. Seems to work, though I suppose it gives a slightly simpler shape. Mainly what it does is stop bellypans from fitting.
