I don't like these black wheels on my baby.. The  :shit: seems to show up more on them than on the silver ones on last baby.  :sad:

Is it me, or does anyone else feel the same?  :hammer:

Debs, would you like a set of silver wheels in mint condition free of charge?


I happen to know that Asif hates his silver wheels.  :whistling:

Only the fast bikes, (magnesium colour) come as standard with black wheels.  :popcorn:

ive seen this topic come up before and most people want black wheels. On my zzr1200 I had black and I did find them very boring so I bought the gold ones off ebay( they were factory colour ) changed them over at tyre change time and sold the black ones for the same money.
You could have the rims polished , this is something you could do yourself

That's why I got a green one as not keen on the black wheels. You could put a red or complementary / contrasting pin stripe on the rim Debs ?

I had a problem with my black wheels at first but they grew on me , and yes they are a real pain to keep clean, but once cleaned they are by far the best looking wheel, debs you will grow to like them.I use a foam cleaner once a month to get into the difficult areas to keep them in tip-top condition ( although i do wash the bike, wheels and all every week ).
get a grip and deal with it

I'm sure if you're serious he'll be in touch if he hasn't been already.

When I bought my baby , I had only one condition for the dealer : he had to change the black ones for the silver ones...
I`m still happy I made that choice :-)
many grtz ;-
