Title: I've got a big big problem (rims) Post by: wallaceaka on September 23, 2009, 11:42:17 PM Do I have to paint my rims black ???? [roll]
Or maybe another color you might suggest ???

You want to go all black?
Go for it. Me? I'd leave it. Just don't paint them white!!!! If i even look at my white wheels, they get dirty. I must avert my eyes at all times for them to stay clean. Title: Re: I've got a big big problem (rims) Post by: wallaceaka on September 24, 2009, 02:20:15 AM No, they're not black at the moment, they're as grey as the chassis (the red stripe are off now !)...
Don't know what to do ... :-\ Title: Re: I've got a big big problem (rims) Post by: NAKID on September 24, 2009, 02:50:11 AM I say leave it. Everyone has black rims. I like the color of those...

Title: Re: I've got a big big problem (rims) Post by: Slide Panda on September 24, 2009, 03:57:36 AM Besides... it's decently costly and more importantly, can ride w/o wheels!
If you want to spend some dosh - replace those aged side pods... Title: Re: I've got a big big problem (rims) Post by: wallaceaka on September 24, 2009, 04:35:41 AM If you want to spend some dosh - replace those aged side pods... Well, it's some of the parts I am going to change in the coming weeks, with many others ... Wheel painting is maybe for Xmas ... [thumbsup] Title: Re: I've got a big big problem (rims) Post by: yotogi on September 24, 2009, 06:56:04 AM White is the fastest color wheel, but I am not sure I would do that on a black bike.
And all the time you make up being fast, you spend cleaning them so... Title: Re: I've got a big big problem (rims) Post by: TURNnBURN on September 24, 2009, 05:17:07 PM That is complete nonsense! Everyone knows black is the fastest and in the dark you're even faster. Some have even been known to become invisible and travel somewhere between space and time.

Yeah, but that usually involves large quantities of alcohol. Title: Re: I've got a big big problem (rims) Post by: mrplease on September 24, 2009, 07:29:08 PM i think they'd look much better black...

Title: Re: I've got a big big problem (rims) Post by: dlearl476 on September 24, 2009, 09:35:19 PM Leave 'em be. They look good as is. +1 Spend the money on your exhaust instead, it's hideous.

Mivv exhaust are great ! And good sounds ! [evil] Loking for a new one, maybe in the coming .... years ! :-\ Title: Re: I've got a big big problem (rims) Post by: TURNnBURN on September 25, 2009, 06:44:58 AM +1 Spend the money on your exhaust instead, it's hideous. [laugh] www.performancecoatings.com (http://) (http://) (http://) (http://) (http://) (http://) (http://) I agree! The two things I would change are the exhaust and I would personally rock an open clutch......but thats just me. Here is a quick look at what it could look like if you went all CF. I didn't do any color matching or anything......takes to long......normally the CF would look like the CF on your belt covers......unless they are just plastic......I can't tell.

i've been thinking of powdercoating my swingarm black, and getting my wheels done in a "titanium" color coating... keep them as is, it's different, which is what the monster is all about ;D Title: Re: I've got a big big problem (rims) Post by: Shifty on September 25, 2009, 08:00:15 AM Hell yeah leave it, everyone expects black! That gray looks great! [thumbsup]
Title: Re: I've got a big big problem (rims) Post by: wallaceaka on September 25, 2009, 08:43:10 AM Hey Guys, i'm quicker than you !!!! ;D
In fact, I just fit a CF rear cover seat, a CF open clutch cover (I'm waiting for a great looking plessure plate to receive), just ordered a pair of Apex clip-ons from Monster parts, and also ordered a SBK CF front fender ... [evil] Let me fit this all, and I'll post you some pics of my almost brand new S4 (and yes, belt timing covers are CF, of course !!!!) Oh, also waiting for a short CF tail !!! ;) So, I think my exhaust will wait ... And for the wheels, I think I keep them as there are .... for the moment !

A real 'big big problem' would be something like- -I was tooling down the street and OH CRAP my friggin wheel fell off. -or- -I got pulled over for speeding and the cop found out that the wheels of my new ducati i bought on ebay is made completely of compressed rock cocaine, and now im going to jail -or- -I came home from work early and found my wife in bed getting freaky with my marchesini thinking maybe you would like them better black is no big big deal (i vote for keeping the frame and wheels matching too) |
