Im good man how are you?
Yeah I got the black wheel real cheap using it to sort out an isshe with my stock front wheel which the gold replacements are super expensive...
I love the black so maybe when this rear tire is shot ill get a black rear.

Maybe you can just paint the rear black to match yourself. Or Plastidip and see what you think of all black

Geno! How have you been?
I think if you put some gold rim stripes on the front and black rim stripes on the rear, it would look cool/unique!

I've been doing very well bud. I actually hated the olive drab wheels and went and had my wheels powdercoated.
I have another set that I'm having done next week in a neon green color.

I think it's cool ,, I used to do that stuff years ago on my late 80s bikes , I had an orange / blue ,silver Gsx 750 & did the front wheel orange & the rear in the blue , it looked cool ,, it was all the rage back then !!

Not my cup of tea but when you are riding you won't see it anyway.

Hi PapaGeno, I like the Gold wheels on your bike.

I prefer both wheels be the same color unless it is part of the paint scheme. It does not look bad. Someone with OCD may have a fit though! Take you time to decide. You can have 1 or both both wheels powder coated any color you like in the future. And if it bugs you, you can hit it with plastidip until you get ready to do something more permanent.

You can also get wheel stripes from eBay. They are inexpensive and you can customize them as well.

I wondered this too as my front black paint on the wheels are peeling (winter riding or brake dust ? ) and some gold wheels brand new are available for a lot less price than dealer prices.£450 for new rims I think but seen some brand new ones for £299 just need bearings etc added but color is gold front I have black on the back.Prefer the gold though.
