Should they stay or should they go?

The wheels?When i first got the bike it had an iridium screen on it and with the lime green wheels it was like eeeech!I replaced the screen with a black tinted one and the wheels suddenly started to look better somehow?So,some days i like them,some days i just think the colour just doesn't suit the bike,any opinions?Please make up my mind,reactions seem to be mixed from people i know:-/

Either black or the same silver/grey as the stripes on the bodywork would look good. Yellow is a bit bright!

[Tim2100]

Need to go. They look vile (IMO)

Sorry but you asked!!

[rumpelstiltskin]

Tim,no need to apologise i didn't paint them this colour so you can be as harsh as you want:-)The guy spent £1600 on the bike one day and this colour was on his wish list of things to be done to the bike that day?,i should have left the iridium screen on and given you a psychedelic nightmare!

[SirPsycho]

Black!!

[Mad Dave]

I reckon paint them the same metallic grey as the stripes on the bodywork.

Previous owner may have been colour blind? I like the silver option best or perhaps polish the wheels but that takes a lot of maintainence...(matched to other bits already on bike).... should look really nice.

[Tim2100]

I wouldn't go with silver.....

My wheels are white. and are a bitch to keep clean.

I'm still waiting for the "feck me!those wheels are gorgeous!It's the colour i've always been looking for you jammy git" reply but it's not forthcoming:-)So a colour change it is then,all the options are good,the decision i think maybe between black with a red pin stripe right around the edge(To match red graphics on bike and red Hel brake lines i've ordered)or silver.Is powdercoating like a paint all of it's own with it's own colour charts and i'll get a 'near' match,or can it be painted with normal bodywork paint?I don't imagine normal paint will be as durable as powdercoating,or is there a tough kind of lacquer that goes over painted wheels?
