    Got to be white mate.
    Blue was standard on the K8-K9 model.

    Dave,

    Looking at that website, discuss with them the prep process, I would want confirmation of how they remove the existing finish, if it is just bead blasting, I would be a little wary, as that in itself can cause unseen damage to the rim.

    I used to be a wheel repairer, and if they were my wheels, I would want them chemically stripped then lightly blasted before surface prep.

    I'd have said white until I saw the photo above..... I think I'd keep them black on yours.

    dont think you would be able to carbon dip a motorcycle wheel as you see both sides of it. you would have to dip both sides of the wheel separate and where the 2 different patterns meet it would not match and look awful

    They do dip bike wheels and seem to look good, not sure how they do it and know what you mean but it seems to work
