    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.

    Get some gold marchesini rims!
    "Beware of the lollipop of mediocrity. One lick and you'll suck forever!"Brian Willson

    “I guess it's because we all want to believe that what we do is very important, that people hang on to our every word, that they care what we think. The truth is, you should consider yourself lucky if you even occasionally get to make someone - anyone - feel a little better. After that, it's all about the people that you've let into your life.”— J.D.

    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.
