trying to decide on a wheel color (Updated w/ Pics)
 

I have a red hawk, and can't decide whether to go with white or gold powdercoating. anyone here on the boards have a red hawk with either of these color wheels they care to share a pic of here in this thread? thanks

White is nice but you had better enjoy cleaning, lol

i really think white would look a lot better.

I had yellow wheels on a red bike once. It was actually a red/black CBR600F3 and it looked sweet. I got a lot of comments on it. I've considered that for the VTR and also a medium blue color. I can't decide, so I've left mine black.

In my opinion, gold wheels look pretty good on just about anything.

thanks for the pics, maybe i should try to surf some ducati forums to see how the white and gold look with red bikes.

leave the spokes and spoke ridge "black". paint the remainder of the rim with metallic
silver urethane paint that closely matches your fork bottoms and swingarm. that color
ties all the alum.bits on your bike together,makes an attractive contrast between rim and tyre, and is an easy clean-up as you probably won't need to clean the spoke area
each time you ride. i did that to mine 3 yrs ago and it is holding up very well.

any pics of your wheels danpierc? thanks thats a great idea to keep in mind.

anyone got pics of a blue 03 with blue or gold rims??

well just dropped my 6 spokers off at the powdercoaters yesterday.......Spanish Gold with clear coat $85 per wheel. whoo hooo.....cant wait

how long before we see the pics?

he said they would be done at the end of the week, but i have to wait for one more package to arrive next week before installing the wheels. look for a new thread about my project build up in about two weeks. :D

$85 a wheel seems like a good price. I had mine done in glossy black about 4 years ago. I can't remember the price, but I'm disappointed that the coating is peeling. :(

wheels are done and look sweeeeeeeeeeet!!! just dropped them off at the dealer to get my tires mounted up. will have pics soon.

white sucks!
usually the wheels should match the frame, but there are exceptions.

crappy phone pics but will be installed tonight

I think it looks good with the red

i like the red with gold 5 spoke combo.

I think dirt colored rims are the best.. They always look clean no matter what. :D

Not bad! I probably would have gone with a 70 series front tire though!

good eye, yea i just wanted to see what handling difference feels like. should be interesting for a couple thousand miles. will throw a report out in a few months down the road.
