Just wondering what everyone has done with the color of their wheels?

I am planning on getting mine powdercoated. I have an 05 XB12R with the racing red plastics and am thinking about getting the wheels powdercoated a charcoal grey or whatever the color of the frame is with a pearl effect maybe.

Upload some pictures!

Just so you know, if you want infinite colors these wheels hold paint real well if the original surface is in good shape. I painted my Uly wheels barricade orange to match the bike. There is no need to strip the powder coat to do it.

My dealer decided to prove they are completely incompetent last fall and destroy my black wheels, while doing a routine tire change. they then paid for my wheels to be stripped and powdercoated....i went with something different.


stock: villain black




Now: New Tucker Orange (metallic)

Grand Stand Designs, one of our sponsors, powder coated my wheels.

They used a graphite grey for the center to match the frame, and then polished and clear coated the rims.
