VFR4Lee Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Looks ok. Would look sexy with gold too. Here's my 1981 CB900F that I painted Pearl Cosmic Black(06 VFR black), with gold wheels. If you look up member 46alpha's gallery, he has pics of gold wheels on his 06 too. Invisible chain. Sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer auggius Posted June 16, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted June 16, 2011 I've never seen black on white rims and I'm always up for being different. Ahh.. I don't mind cleaning them lol, that's part of owning a bike ! I had white wheels on my CBR. Clean 'em real well and then put on a coat of wax and after each ride give them a quick wipe. With the SSA and centrestand the rear wheel is easy. The front is harder to reach all the nooks but if you wipe it around the rim that goes a long way towards keeping it look clean. I am grateful for the black wheels on my VFR because I'm a lazy bastard now. But in answer to your question, I think it looks great, and hey, for a relatively low cost you'll have a unique looking VFR, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rufrydrsc2up Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Looks good to me but those white wheels are a pain in the arse to keep clean. Rollin Not if they are powdercoated. Any dust or grime I get on my rims wipes right off with your finger. It takes me no more time to clean my bike now w/ white rims than it did with the factory silver powdercoating. Of course if you are incredibly anal about any brake dust or dirt being on your bike at any time..........leave it in the garage and sit on it and make noises.

Member Contributer ggathagan Posted June 16, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted June 16, 2011 Go for it! I too prefer the gold/black combo, but only if an effort is made to remove any other colors/finishes (silver, polished/chromed). I have a thing for two-color themes or two-color schemes with understated color accents. Obviously it's impossible to completely accomplish that (rotor surfaces). I also like the black wheel or polished wheel treatment, as it reduces the colors to silver/polished/chrome and black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFRSuperfreak Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'll just leave this here, it's a combination I really like, including the chromed upside exhaust, gold wheels, etc. -you can blame JimDavis for it; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought i would give you all in little laugh, i recently had my bike parked outside a friends house. We were sitting in the kitchen discussing powder coating (He is PC'ing my 8 spoke Black) looking at our bikes and a middle aged man came up next to ours on a scooter and sat on my bike and made the noises and even took a racing position on the bike. We laughed so hard he heard us and i dropped the coffee over myself. Funniest thing i have seen in years. Sorry i did not get my phone out in time to video, but i tried.
