I don't know if I would go with any of those colors... I would honestly go with either a red or black bowder coating. That would give it a nice blended look, and wouldn't go overboard. Just my opinion...

have not thought of the gold color of the rotors. I thought that red would be nice to have the wheels painted. What ever you decide let me know and send or post pics of the finished product. I have the same as you on the paint scheme and would like to see what it would look like. Really considering the polished look for mine.

yeah i was thinkin of doing white spokes, polished lip, and a white outside line like on the raven. i think the gold might look decent on it b/c the rotors it wont look like oMFG what'd you do. if i polish the lip i'll show you a pic of that too cuz my buddy does polishing so that it looks like chrome. anyone have any other colors they think would look good

i saw the red wheels on a 954 around here and it just looked a lil too plain. the neon green was just going to be like to offset it and be like woahh when i pass bye ppl. but i think im going to go with the rotor color on it, that gold

I have chrome rims and they make the bike look good, but I hate them. If shiny is your thing, go with polishing or chrome. In the next 2 years, I'm gonna get them powder coated black or a translucent color if I get the rest painted.

I have the same color bike red/black and white on the tail. My wheels a factor Red and I will say that it looks great. I have seen them with crome, black, yellow but I like the red the best. good luck.

I've been trying to think of something to do to my dark stock rims to dress the bike up a little - I love my stock '01 yellow and black, but I admit it never sent me over the moon with it's looks - seems like it's missing something. I always liked the Repsol with the orange rims, or the blue and white GSXR's with the white rims, but I'm at a loss to dream up something like that for mine. I like aeroworks's yellow rims (his bike is the same as mine otherwise), but it's probably too over the top for an old man like me. Wish I had more imagination for stuff like this....[:@]
