    Thinking about changing wheel color.

    Help me out. The previous owner was a hack, and he drooled a whole bunch if brake fluid on the front wheel. The finish is fucked in a few places, and it's making me crazy. I was thinking about having the wheels powder coated. Thinking about either silver or gold.

    Who wants to use their mad photoshop skillz to chage it for me? Suggestions welcome.








    I'm leaning towards to silver to match this:

    Nice bike. I think I'd do gold. Silver wheels are just so...boring.

    But, it's your bike, not mine.

    red front wheel, red shock spring, ditch the silver stripe, red logo on tank, axe the signals, more red (understated) bits over time.

    It looks fine. Buy more entries, tires, or guns instead

    Whatever you decide I can help you out if you want. I literally have a Book FULL of colors to choose from. Youd be amazed at the amount of different silvers and golds there are to choose from.

    A red S4RS with white wheels looked great on the showroom floor back in the day...

    But I would pick a color that looks good with brake pad dust all over them.
