Default Wheel color suggestion

My friend is offering to paint my wheels, not powdercoat. What color do you suggest for my f4i? I'm thinking about the dark blue Aprilia uses on their Tuono.

Here is a pic of my f4i. It has a CF Akra pipe on now and penske shocks since I took this picture.

Red. Right now the Red on your bike ends at the tank / tail. If you're keeping it without the upper / lower cowls, bringing some red to the lower half of the bike will add more of the red / black contrast you already have going.

Blue I think would conflict, being the 1 color too many in the scheme without more addition of blue to contrast with the other colors

I think the cover got in the way for GP shifting set up

I'd like to see some pix of that front end. I'd go with a bronze/gold color for the wheels.

gold would match the bars so I would say that. The only problem is your not going to get gold spray paint to match the bars.

I'm liking what you did with the front end & naked look.
