Rimming your hoops

Post by Cheggers »

Having seen it done to a few bikes (jays, for example looks awesome!) i really fancy getting some pinstrip rim tape for my wheels, but just like the missus shopping for shoes, I just can't make my mind up on what colour to have, so i thought i'd ask the experts on here.

Heres the bike:-

A blue to match the lower colour on the fairing

id go for black ones, but you could save yourself time by just leaving the wheels as they are. :)

all black wheels look spot on on gsxr's.
