    I'm crap with visualising stuff so I thought I'd throw the question to you lot to get your input :D

    How do you reckon my Blade would look if I got the wheels powder-coated gold? [​IMG]

    Don't know about the gold wheels mate, first i'd do a bit of rimming with some tape .. :rolleyes: Try red on the front, blue rear, i think that may do more for the look than you think and if you don't like it you havn't spent much. May be some one with photo shop skills could put the gold on the wheels for you to compare.

    It would look great, but not as good as they would in white :)

    I guess I was wondering if it'd give the bike shades of this.

    Or like this sort of the same colors, but I do think gold or white would look mint with that color scheme

    Also, just while we're on the subject. I've got no experience of powder coating. Is that what people generally get done with wheels or do people generally just paint them?

    some nice pics. I was thinking of adding rim tape to my blade but unsure what would look nice on Orange wheels. I only want to add some as it looked great on my speed Triple. black wheels and orange rim tape
