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.

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'.

Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

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]

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.

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.  

VIVA LA EVOLUCION!!!

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..
