OK my bike is starting to show its age a bit especially on the wheels where most of the black paint has flaked off.
Lastt week i got a bargain off ebay ...... a bright pink wheel!

I have fitted it to see what it looks like, now the question is do i get the front powdercoated to match or do i get them both painted the origional black??

Hmm.. Thinking

Now, I hate pink. But in some cases it can be very cool / affective. And the wheel does match your paint job. I personally like brightly coloured bikes and gear, bikes are about fun and a bright colours just seem to work.

So I've voted to go for the pink. I think if you hated it you wouldnt have asked, you would have just painted it black. So the pink must be pulling your heart strings in some way. Very Happy

Do the front the more orangey-red to match that end of the decal.

For the bling.

I do like the pink i have to admit, but i like the black too. A few weeks ago me an mr_z were at MFN sat near my bike, and some random bloke described it as the gayest looking bike he had ever seen!
So im kinda afraid pink wheels may be a bit too much! Oh the decisions!

As soon as I saw it, I thought - match the front wheel to the colour at the front end of the fairing and it'll look fantastic.

As Bendy said - go for the burnt orange colour for the front wheel. Thumbs Up

With a name like " Mr Fisty" you should stick with the pink (or Brown).

I'd paint the front wheel gloss black, and leave the pink rear. Would look right...
