planning on going gloss black on the wheels, yes or no??????????

In the interest of originality (albeit the Senna in monster terms is only referred as a color scheme, and not as a LE) I'd say no..

MMMmmm I know what you mean, thing is the only bits on it that are orginal is pretty much the frame, seat, swing and front end! even the engine is off an S4R!!

I'd say yes myself, but also add that the owner / rider is the one that needs to feel happy and has to clean it as well!

I think black gloss would be nice, but then so is the red.
I like black bikes anyway, but some colour somewhere helps to lift it a bit.
So I had a look and a think......and still couldn't really decide.
I did start to wonder about something gunmetalish, if you could get such a thing, or.......wait for it......
Gloss mid grey....? ......a marmite sort of suggestion.
The more I consider it, the more I like it though.
Hope thats helpful in er.....well, there are no answers, only more questions.

I think if you are going to go with black... go with Satin rather then Gloss.

I had a good look at both options when I had my wheel powder coated and I definitely think of the Satin (eggshell) finish has more class somehow.

I was assuming your main paint is satin.
If so, I might prefer the gloss for the wheels.
Otherwise I'd agree.
Though I'm convinced by the gloss mid grey now.......I'd best shut up.......

I would vote no

The red looks nice - how about polished rims?

I have had the wheels on my S4 powder coated gloss black, and apart from keeping them clean, I think they look the bo**ocks.!

26-11-2010, 07:10 PM

Definitely Black.
