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.

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
If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
Stealing their magic geese and helping them plummet to their deaths also has its advantages.

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

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.
