I'm thinkin about sending my rims off for powdercoating because some of the black paint is chipping off. What do you guys think?? I know at least one of you already has white rims and I think they look pretty good. The only other color that I would be able to handle might be red, but it might be too much. I just want to see what everyone thinks about the process and if it's worth it. Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

If you don't mind a lot of cleaning any bike with white done properly can look secksy .. imo, if you do it, just stick with 2-3 colors max though, more than that and it can start looking clownish quickly. good luck

I like them, then I am biased (see attached old pic of my Erion). Also, I think that the red pin adds a lot.

I just finished my Erion rims in white also... I highly recommend it! It improves the look so much.

It looks cool. Here's a guy that bought a new VFR and had it custom painted to match the Interceptors of old.

White will look good but if you can find a red that matches it will give it a more of a race vibe and set it appart from others.
