Help me choose my wheel color - DONE! - PICS!
I'm getting my wheels powdercoated next month and I'm having a little trouble making up my mind.
I have an 06 black denim street bob whos mods have all followed an 'old school' type theme.
Here's a pic of what it looks like now:

I initially wanted to go for the hotrod look and do red rims, leave spokes chrome (or do black spokes), and whitewall tire paint...like the look of this bike from exile cycles:

but now I think i might like the all black look better, plus that way I wont have to bother with the whitewall tire paint....I'd probably pin stripe the outside edge of the wheel in a silver color so give the rim and tire some separation....like this OCC bike:

the hub and spoke nips will stay satin aluminum/chrome
so, what would you do? help me decide.
thanks for your input

I've seen a couple bobbers with red rims, and I have to say (not doggin on anyone that has them) I'm not crazy about them. I think it takes a special color combo and certain "pull in" parts to make red rims look like they belong.

Leave the wheels alone and spray the pipe wrapping black.
Your bike looks good.

I have told you before, I LOVE your bike, but you have got to do something about that John Deere license plate holder.
