I am looking for pictures of sporties with painted wheels. I am trying to decide which way to go (Chrome, red, black, white, etc). I am hoping some people can post theirs here or give me names of folks I can go look at there photo gallery without going through every members gallery.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you. I like your bike. It looks pretty sweat. I had alreeady downloaded the pictures into my Sportster album on my computer. I am looking for something a bit different though. I have seen a lot of bobber pictures with the red wheels and chrome spokes. I am hoping to find something that looks as good but is unique. I'm not having much luck. I think I will probably end up with something with really thick spokes. My daughter really likes chrome though and it will probably end up her ride in 4 or 5 years anyway.

A co-worker was at daytona this year and had a ton of pictures with painted wheels. I think most of them are wire wheels. But I will try to get him to e-mail me so I can post some up. I just wanted to wet you wistle to see if you were wanting wire or mag wheels.

Side note: I have posted before that another friend of mine had American Wire Wheel custom make a set for his Night Train with black loops copper nipples, stainless steel spokes, and a black hub. They look freak'n sweet. So I think most wire wheel companies will do about anything you want to the wheels.

Here is my front mag wheel painted all black. My avatar shows the rear mag painted with a tire mounted.

I don't know which rims you have but I had my rims painted. The rear is stock which I had the center painted the color of the bike. The front if an aftermarkey rim so I guess that won't help you.
