In your opinion which color of the  wheels suits better on a red S2R1000 with white stripe?

I have black ones and I'm seriously thinking about changing the color..

  WHITE  [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap]

+1 white.

i like black wheels on all bikes, because then there's about 40% less places to clean.

White with a white stripe or black with a black stripe.  Paint the wheels white or better yet, paint the tank with a black stripe and black lettering.

At least Red with Black Stripe would stand our from he crowd.
If I had the Trellis in black I would paint the Bike black with orange stripe...

+1

also, this poll is a fail, it's missing an option

Wheels?

silver

White looks better but it's a PITA to keep clean. If you want to switch to white, I'm sure you can find someone who wants a trade.

My vote would go to a red (maybe white) stripe

I changed my wheels from white to matblack (Carbon later), because I loved the white wheels only when I had cleaned them, and the white stripes to black and left the Ducati sign on the side of the tank white. Maybe you like that. As we all know, taste is very personal.

What happened to the board's configurator?

Not up here as far as I can tell, but here's one...

Hmmm...I thought there was one up a while back.

Thanks to the link!   [thumbsup]

Cool, can you post a pic of your bike?
I'ld like to see how she  looks with black Stripe&wheels..

Somewhere at the middle/end on this board (Accessoires & Mods) you can see pics: 'Codatronca-Celli'.

I like a lot of black on a red S2R. So, black wheels please 8)

CarpiMoto among others, have reflective rim stripes. Nice look, IMO

Yeah, rim stripes are a good option.....red or white by the way?  [roll]

A new vote?  ;D

My answer is, off course, red.

I think you can have them Tricolore even [thumbsup]

I think we have both the same tyres...Metzler M3....

Yes, this is my third rear M3. Love them. Even on a cold track day, 5-10 C, I trusted them completely, all the way to the edge of the tire [moto]

Make the white stripe Black and and put a Red stripe on the wheels!  [evil]

Replacing the white with the black stripe ( and  lettering) would  mean to get the whole bike painted....it's a pity that in order to change the colour of the frame we have to disassemble all the bike and I can't figure out the cost...

I ride my bike daily, and I only wipe down the wheels once or twice per month.

Pompetta,

Awesome bike.

How the heck you manage that Pompetta?  Mine look grungy after a long ride.

I wish the wheels on mine were black, but if I had a choice it would be a dark gold/bronze color, remminiscent of the Campagnolo wheels on Ferrari sports racers in the 60s and 70s.

Well, mine usually look dirtier than in the pic above, it just doesn't bother me.

Cool Ferrari.  I like gold too, but I thing my bling meter is already a bit high.   :-[

We might meet up half way and swap wheels then!  :)

Your bike is just perfect..

impossible. my meter's needle broke off so i keep throwing stuff on.

Actually, I would like more of a bronze like the wheels on my Miata...had to search for this pic.  Less "blingy" than a true gold and didnt show off the brake dust as much.

Look at the last one of this post then...

Oh yeah...that's it.  The bright gold looks great on those wheels, but I think it would be too bright on the 5 spoke wheels' larger surface area.

If you go through the page you will find also golden 5 spoke wheels...

I voted for white, but the red rims on the bike DarkStaR posted look smashing

black most def

You must not use the brakes Much!  [beer]

I like to keep it under 35mph.


























 ;D  By far the front is the worst, but brake dust wipes right off if you apply a coat of wax now and then.
