Too many choices causing loads of confusion...just pick a colour and see what happens! You might like the end result

Just pick a colour coating is not cheap and if you do not like the first five colours it can get expensive

I hope our wives never meet ---oh the stories they could tell

I think there are many situations where wives meeting would be a bad thing so I tend to avoid it at all costs. Mine has little idea on bikes and what colours work so she will also be ignored in this situation based on the simple rule "it's my bike and I will choose the colours, she sticks to shirt colours".

Popping into a coating place on my way home from work on Monday to look at some samples and am between green or red at the moment. Would have been yesterday but snapped Torx bit on last bolt of last disk and didnt have another! Halfords Advanced, they replaced it with no fuss.

Ignore
Grumpy Ole Codger as he is a cheap bastard only offering a tuppence worth of advice
Now here is sixpence worth of advice, sell your bike -buy a trike and have a blue, red and green wheel problem solved and all for the price of less than two bob

I think it was the great OWL on the .com site that had a fair bit of yellow in his wheels? looked really nice.

He had a lot of yellow generally on his R3.

This isnt helping my decision making

Ooooooh! That would look awesome on my Canada bike! What exactly is that paint and gloss? I want to see if I can get it here in British Columbia.

Think about whether or not you will stop with just the wheels.
If you decide to get color anodized parts on day your gas cap, levers, or other bolt on bits, red will be more available than blue or green I would think

Anything but green, I don't know what it is, but I can't even look at some Kawasakis, that Kawasaki lime green is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
