Any suggestions for rims?
Wassup fellas? I was considering painting my rims to match my tank, and front end (silver). I called a local shop that is known for doing this and he told me that hes sure it would look nice, but I had to be extra careful on the because of chips, and blemished that commonly occur. He said that I may want to consider powdercoating, but it is harder to colormatch. I dont know what to do. I dont want to polish the frame, therefore I really dont want chrome rims. I dont want to spend the money to paint, and it starts chipping a year later, and I dont want to powder coat if it wont be exactly the same color. I need for my bike to stand out. My last option is to leave them black, and put a Silver rim stripe on, but i think thats kinda cheesy. Feedback? Suggestions? Help

paint dosen't last. have them powdercoated. If someone is close enough to see that the colors don't match exactly, you're not keeping a close enough eye on your ride.
