    Looking for some other people's thoughts on the ancillary parts on my new wheels, all the extra parts that go with the wheels are highly polished ali, which was ok when they were black. I have just had them powder coated orange and now I am thinking they may look better anodised or sprayed black, anodise being my preferred option if I go down that route. The other issue I have are the discs, not sure yet if I will get the Brembo T drive ones which have a black inner part or the HPK ones that are golden. 20160213_195607.jpg

    I think everyone has got the wrong idea, I have just had the wheels done orange that wasn't the issue :) the problem is all the other parts ie sprocket carrier, rear disk hub are all polished ali. It looked ok when wheels were black but now they are orange they look strange so i thought about having them black instead. Sorry if my first post wasn't clear... 20160213_195607.jpg

    That part really needed to be the same colour apart from the face! I think your going to have to leave them polished or it will involve some prep and then painting.... I can see your dilemma

    Don't think you'll notice much once discs and sprocket are on and wheels are mounted to be honest
