    Thoughts on rims?

    What do you guys think of swapping my gold rims for black rims? I did a photochop and it looks mean in black, but I think it looks clean in gold.

    After seeing Brock's blue/black '08, I was sold on going to black rims. But I think I would have a hard time actually doing the swap.

    I personally think they should have put the gold rims on the black bikes !! I think that either way you go it will look good !!

    I agree, the '08 grey with gold rims would have been really sharp.

    The 09 black would look really good since the kanjis are gold !!

    Either works, gold is really sharp.

    then get a different colored bike...

    chrome couldnt be more played out than if every bike started coming from the factory with every visible metal part chromed...

    Naa, i would just trade with someone that has interest in my gold rims. They'd just have to be low mile and mint as well.
