Rim colour change......ideas

Andre63 · 05-04-2012, 06:42 AM

Hi, I need help deciding on what colour to change my rims to.

Attached is the current coulour of my bike with the anthracite type colour rims but I would really like to alter them to possible gold like the Oz or Marcasini rims are?
Anybody out there good with photoshop to change the picture for me with some options?

Any other suggestions?

I have painted mine in some dark yellow (almost caramel) and also changed the RR emblem, those changes gave a new look to the bike...

I agree...nicely done. I like the black and yellow/gold-ish look.

Thanks K12............u r right about the "so/so"..........but it does give an indication of what white would look like.
I did see pictures of an acid green with colour coded rims...........maybe colour coding to the "light grey" as BMW call it, would`nt be a bad idea.

i was looking to do the same to mine , powder coat the light metallic paint onto just the walls of the rim and have the spokes done black. if you have any work done i have to check that out.

If I do decide to change to the colour coded rims I will certainly post the pics. I will be abroad for a while but when I`m back I will make a change.......and hey if I`m correct in assuming that NYC is for new York City ??!!?? I will be there at the end of June for a few days......
