The great wheel colour debate

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

Wheels on the R1 have been done over by the salt monster, so they'll be getting refurbed some time.

The question is, what colour do I go for?

Is not my bike, but the colour is the same.

Gold ala R1 SP is very tempting.

Feel free to photoshop some ideas. Was also considering plain black, or just OE colours. Silver? White?

You have too much black, go gold forks and gold wheels.

I'm having the same dilemma, white/blue bike, black wheels... tempted by blue

Gold forks and wheels also, get the brake caliper silver changed to gold also and blam.

[Rob W]

I'd go with the gold, that one you linked looks the bollocks,

Purple with some other purple anodised tat to go with it

Seeing as tartan or polka dots aren't on your options list, I'd say gold or maybe black, if you don't fancy the bling effect.

Do 'em the same grey as the decals for the win.

[Bikeless]

Not a fan of gold wheels, maybe anthracite/dark grey metallic.

[bamt]

The only colour for bike wheels is brake-dust-and-road-tar grey. It doesn't really matter what the base colour is.

[GaryJM]

Gold as you already have gold highlights on the fairing

Gold wheels can work but only in this instance.

Definitely gold, it looked awesome on my Blue R1, and even better on the black ones

Can only be gold TBH, to match the Yamaha tuning fork badge on the tank. Gold centre plugs for the brakes would be good as Paddy said.

Could you get a gold EXUP sticker for it maybe, and if you ever changed the rear sets or the levers, bar ends, then gold would work for those too.

BTW Subaru Owners are a very classy understated bunch aren't they??

I'd have had my Rover's wheels gold powder coated as well, as it does go well with BRG, but all my decals are white, so I'm going white instead.

[Fisty]

Jewish racing gold FTW.

White wheels are a pain in the arse.

I like the dark red idea..
