    Default Wheels ideas !!

    Hi guys i have a spare set of wheels for my M109r and chroming is not a option over here as i dont know of anyone that chromes wheels and secondly cost not in my price bracket. so what other options do i have yes i thought about polishing but i dont think not for me, so then we come to spraying the wheels or powdercoating i have a 2007 blue/white M109R so please any ideas on designs colours ect.. also do i powdercoat or spray, any advice appreciated.

    You could also powder coat or spray the rim white with a blue center.

    Powder coat them white then put a blue pinstripe on the rim of the wheel. Check out Nemo's wheels..

    Now that is a very good idea. I think that blue stripe around that white wheel would pop big time.

    Good Idea Captnpirate!!!

    White with a blue strip on the rim should be perfect

    Thanks for the ideas guys could someone tell fors and againsts of powdercoating and/or spraying i.e. i cant powdercoat the wheels white and have a blue stripe round the rim so am i right in thinking i would have to powdercoat the wheel white and then have the rim sprayed Blue if that is possible.

    You may want to obtain the wheels rim coloured in blue by applying plastic blue strips. They're very common on motorcycling aftermarket parts (mostly for sport bikes than custom/cruiser).

    I used green plastic stripes for the OEM black wheels of my Benelli Tre-K ride. Good result, although I admit that having the rim in true colour (sprayed) would be the best.

    i have been told you cant powder coat 2 colors it as to be one color so if i had a white wheel and then paint the rim Blue or something similar to M109Greenskull above blue and white gostly but very light on the white. i wish there was some sort of program i could play about with different options putting different images and colors on until i was happy with the result because the ideas i have i cant explain them.

    Find yourself a good powdercoater and have him coat the wheels white. THEN go find a pinstripper and have him put on the blue pinstripe.....then shoot lots of pictures and post them here so we can all take pot shots () at you. Bahahahahahaha!! not really, I'm sure they will turn out great.
