I want to brighten up the look of my K6, its the silvery blue colour. Just wanted to know has anyone painted their wheels, and if so what colour would you recommend??

Thats wat is on it at the moment. Looks ok but would rather make the bike a real head turner, for the right reasons and not the wrong ones lol

I followed an R1 for a while near Elephant and Castle and eventually had it park a couple of spaces up from me which was dark blue/purple with Hi-Vis yellow wheels.

Hmm nice - not

I once saw a silver bike with red frame and wheels. Oddly enough it looked great. I'd photoshop a picture of your bike first to see how it works. Post a picture of your bike here mate and I'll photoshop it up for you when I have some free time ok. I'm looking for a well lit side shot preferably.

I got mine powdercoated, it's a tougher finish, and also resists pitting and muck better. Chavtastic gold

But you can't really colourmatch powdercoat, with a few exceptions, so it's more a case of doing a different colour, or finding as close a match as poss.

I like contrasting wheels myself, but Jimmy had a blue curvy SV with candy blue powdercoated wheels, and it really looked ace.
