Wheel coating - opinions please...

[1olbull]

I have taken the wheels off, tyres off and stripped the wheels down to just the rims ready for coating.

I did my first rocket and went satin black, looked great and was on my 2009 Black Roadster, really set the bike off nice. Skipped the Phantom Blue 2011 Roadster.

The Roadster I have now (I like Roadsters obviously) is Matt Black and my question is this, do I go the route most seem to go and do the wheels satin black again or do I listen to my inner demons and go different, specifically bright green (kwak green) wheels.

Downloaded some colour change app and applied to the wheels, what you think? Be honest, I can take it . Reality would be brighter green than this, but you get the idea.

I am partial to the hi-viz lime green and anything that helps get you seen and noticed is a GOOD thing!

Red looks real good with black

did a search earlier to see what yours looked like and found a thread about new paint, that looks very very nice, love paint where it looks like you could fall into it the gloss is that deep!!

Change the colour to Blue that way you will look like a Rangers fan not an evil Celtic fan, looks pretty good not my cup of tea but looks good.

Hibs mate, nice green

All for coating the wheels, what will you be doing with the rest of the bike? green black and chrome IMO do not look very good together but then again my wife has to dress me every morning

Rest of the bike stays as Matt Black for now.

My wife also chooses my clothes and she’s saying the green looks good but go for red, NOT HELPING!!!

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