advice please...
ive got 2 rear wheels for my bike, one white and the other red.
the front wheel is white.

as you can see from this photo the front of the bike is red, the red wheel i have is the same colour

i just placed the wheel in front so you can see what it might look like

so what do you think? the red wheel to kinda have the front match the rear or keep both wheels white?

sorry about the bad photos and messy garage

It'd look bizarre with two different coloured wheels.

Yeah I think I would prefer both white anyway...but two different is odd

It's a no contest for me mate, White on both, looks great, the red looks like a kind of unfinished under coaty thing going on.

After owning a bike with white wheels I would suggest you get them both painted black......

I think the white looks much better and why not try putting some Red Rim Tape on the white wheels, therefore you have both colours on your wheels without having to change the whole wheel from white to red.

Red all the way. White seems to collect the road dirt. It will look great two red wheels.

That's spooge, road spooge. :rolleyes:

Stop being a ninny! :Pokey:
Motorcycling is not a democratic activity - it's basically for loners. Decide on your own wheel colour, and bugger what anyone else thinks!

If you dont want to keep both white how about the front red and the rear white ? Bike looks nice !

I kind of like the red & white combo - something different and eye catching!

or both red.

I'm a clean buff, but stuff white wheels.

everyone seems to think white only is the go.
will see how we go, im still keen to try the red.
will wait till the tyre on the white rim is buggered then switch the rims over as the red has a good BT014 on it and see how i like it
