Has anyone ever seen copper spokes on chrome rims? I am thinking of changing out my spokes this winter and wondering how copper powder coated spokes would look on my chrome rims.

 

my buddy wants to do something very similar... i think it would look kick ***. or even copper powder coat the rims and put in stainless/chrome spokes... i dont know if i've seen it yet, but i bet its been done and looks great!

he also has a anniversary bike!

 

I have seen this before, can not for the life of me remember where. I know one place that sells something like this is HD Wheels.
As for the idea, I say Hell Ya go for it! The copper will match the tank. You could even mix and match (pattern) with stainless steel and copper spokes. Just some ideas. I say go for it.

 

that would be cool... you should also look into other copper items as well.

 

i saw this on a scoot at bartell's- and it did look really sharp

 

use HD WHeels... best in the busn!

 

Here's a link and picture. My vote would be for black rim and hub with copper spokes.

+1 on black rim and hub... the chrome and copper just would not look right together IMO

 

And get ready to empty your wallet.

 

for powder coating, and spokes? that will not be bad $$$ under 500 i would bet if you lace them yourself
