Well after waiting a few days I finally went to pick up my wheels from the powder coaters I had used. I only dropped them off on Friday, so the turn around time was pretty good.

As you can see I put funky black rim tape on as soon as I got home. Smile

The bearings and tyres etc. Will go on tomorrow then they shall be back at home on the bike. Thumbs Up

KOOL STORY BROIZZLE.

They cost me £100 in total. So a tiny bit less than you've been quoted once you've added on the VAT to your price.

Exactly, they're your wheels so don't take shit off me. Thumbs Up

I'm just wincing at that sticky shit being applied to freshly coated wheels. Sick Laughing

The rim tape I used was in 10 curved strips rather than a 'role' and it actually seemed a hell of a lot easier to pull this type off compared to the 'role' when I wanted to slightly alter it's position, it also left nothing on the rim, so hopefully no sticky shit will be left if I ever come to remove it.

Rim tape is quite gay but if you're into your gay pride then that's up to you.

I don't know why people hate on rim tape so much, it can look good.

I just did it because the rest of my bike is black, and I thought this would set it off nicely. Smile

Fuck 'em Reed, if you like the look of rim tape, use it, it's nobody's business but yours. It would look gay if you were bent over pulling your cheeks apart. Great looking wheels !.

Very nice finish. Did you have to do any preparation or did the coaters do it all?

Nope, they did everything, not too bad for £50 a wheel. Smile

Place near me does wheels at £35 a piece or £60 a pair, cash.

Had a ZX6R wheel done for my ZX10R forks but its stashed away for now in my garage roof.

your wheels look nice with that tape, but are they orange or gold?

They are a darkish shade of yellow, they look darker in bright light.
