Thinking about getting my wheels powdercoated--there's a shop nearby but they have over 150 colors and would run around $75 per wheel. Before I get levers and brake lines, etc. I would like to plan on what colors the wheels are first. I'm looking for opinions on what would look best with the Silver/Black bike. Thanks.

Yes gold wheels do rock. Any other bike color but silver would be a no-brainer.

Not silver AFTERMARKET wheels. 3-spokes are so 80's man. Time to upgrade.

3-spokes are my least fav too...I have OCD and did some research to see if Zx-6r wheels would fit.

WHITE....white wheels are a pain in the ass to keep clean but they look pretty damn badd ass on almost any color of bike when they are clean.....escpecially if you throw some white pinstriping or accents on the silver!

Get some CZs or Marchesinis.

pc'd wheels are for stunters and Starbux posers

Keeping it real, can't afford to go that route.
Lol, neither one, here.

White wheels look good, just not with the silver, IMO.

Probably keeping them black....maybe gold or red down the road.

Thanks all.

A lot of polished rims on the Bandit 1200 sites but usually came with regrets due to having to clean or wax them? I can't remember...
