I see some blacked out bikes here that have the red powdercoated wheels. I think it looks great. So great that an aesthetic absolute may have been achieved, in that I can't think of anything that would look better than red.

My question is: has anybody seen or considered other colors besides red?

I could imagine yellow or orange wheels looking pretty good. I think those are in the same "warm" color "family" as red. I really like purple and green, but I don't know great how those would look. White would be cool if you could keep it clean.

I was up late last night and as I was pondering this important problem on my way to sleep, I was picturing spoked wheels with each wheel a different color of the rainbow.

 

I guess you'll be needing a rainbow flag to go with the wheels, right?

 

Contact site sponsor The Powder Pro or JRK5892 for any powder coating questions. He/they have done quite a bit of p/c for members.

 

There's a guy in town (SLC) that has a ratty-rod 32 Ford. It is primer black, with lime green wheels and whitewall tires. It looks so bad-***.

I saw a bike at Sturgis a few years ago at the Klock Werks tent that had the same set-up: all black bike, lime green rims, black hubs & spokes with whitewalls. A little bit of lime green pinstriping, too. Once again, it looked amazing.

I briefly considered going with flat orange on my rims. Didn't do it, but am thinking of painting the tins instead. I'd like to mix up a "denim harley orange." I love the denim paints that HD uses now.

 

Orange here

 

Lots of street rod wire wheels come in all sort of colors. Personally like the black...but that's just me.

 

I saw a silver Street bob on craigslist that had blue grips with blue( somewhere between mid-night and royal) wheels, i thought it looked bad a$$.

 

Black

 

I had a Heriage with red wheels. It was cool.

 

I would say that works. and works well!
i think white rims look good too on certain set-ups.
