Default Gold wheels for curvy

Anyone know a good place near london to powder coat my wheels gold? Or maybe white?

Being perfectly honest, I think your wheels look better the colour they are now. Gold wheels always looks a bit gash and chavvy.

I like the gold rims.

If you are in west london way I have just used Slough Plastic Coaters in Colnbrook to do my frame and bits. I was planning on taking my rims down over the next couple of weeks. They did a great job. I havent checked prices for rims yet though.

Theres another bloke around the corner that will probably do it cheaper although they dont have shot blast facilities - it maybe a good option if you dont need this done.

I think the gold wheerls might go very nicely on your Cafe Racer.

Be very reminiscent of the Ducati 900SS. Classy.

Could be worse, you could be thinking of getting them done in purple.

Gold is stylish and refined Lozzo, particularily when offset with green and silver bodywork

Thanks guys!
Yes Northwind, I agree gold is stylish in the right context. (I'm still harking on about gold wheels, 6 months later.

I will try sloughpowdercoating, thanks!
