yeah, i had considered white for mine, but too much effort cleaning..

then red.. but the bike's red so that'd look a bit wierd... i think now i might do them bright yellow Very Happy

considering spraying the bike black at some point so that might look quite nice..

nice, i think gold would be nice on yours, wud go very well with the silver/black.. and whatever leathers you have... purple just seems to offer too many opportunities to clash with stuff! Wink

Shakey at Super Nova paintwork (Worthing) has done a few jobs for me including wheels. Got a fantastic job done at £60 per wheel. Also try Bob down at Lady B marina in Shoreham, dunno what the company name is but I've been there a few times and he does wheels and other spraying and is a really nice bloke.

I also think the gold would look nice on your R6, kinda give the impression got bought yourself some expensive OZ rims Wink

I thought Peach was a fruit to men Wink

Nah, not peach would kinda look like orange wheels had faded, happened to my bro's bright orange Blade wheels when he cleaned them and it looked pants.

Hi Juels hear,
Gold would look nice with a black bike but then if the bike has alot of decals with purple in them then go for that but at the end of the day it is up to you eh!! just DONT go to dream machine they made a mess of my bike find someone else ok good luck
