I'd say Gold... like Skyhacks wheels that Donny did from Dynoworks. Seen them in person and they looked anodized! Really Sharp! I think the Gold would give you that contrast. just my .02 which is worth more like .01 or less

Gold and silver where my two pics.

the problem with the red is its candy color so they wont be able to match all the well.

Paint the rims Red Candy like you did on the tank but Leave the Lips natural maybe just clearcoated. But something that will not show chips from tire changes.

Unless your going to anodize Gold, Powder coat Gold would look GAY as hell. Silver would just be a lite grey of some shade...

But if you HAD to powder coat them. I'd go with Black. IMO you should paint them Red Candy to match the red on the tank. And while your at it. Paint the Rearsets Red too or powdercoat them Grey to match the frame.

Good Luck the bike looks Great BTW,

I dont want to paint. They wont hold up with the amount of tire changes I would do. Powder would be the best for the long run.

As much I would like to do a multi color its just not in the budget.

If red isn't an option, and it sounds like it's not, I'd probably keep it black. Already looks great with black rims.

Another idea might be to make them White to match the white pinstriping and lettering.

silver or red gold would kinda nullify your rear sets

I would do the red that's on the bike. I think it would help offset the other colors and be a little more unique. All would look nice though.

Not red - too much.
Not silver - don't think it would come out looking right (and not enough contrast).
Not gold - same reason as silver (although it would contrast OK).
Vote: keep as is - the black makes the rest of your bike "pop" already (and would seem to me to be a little lower maintenance, especially given lots of tire changes?).

Chrome came to mind too even though the young bucks hate it. Silver and chrome... Coming from the guy with Chrome Cragar rims and air shocks on my car in high school. What color is Suicide Kings bike again?

I think I am going to go with gold. IT would cost to much to paint them the same candy red. Plus the powder coater thinks it would take to many coats to match the candy red also. Gold is easy and cheap. Plus I just added a few more gold parts to the bike.
