It's hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like they are black w/ red stripe now.  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.

No, they're not black at the moment, they're as grey as the chassis (the red stripe are off now !)...

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...

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...

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.
