im debating on whether or not to keep my lips polished this summer or go back to all blk wheels which i thought were nice. till i painted another set almost to color of bike and polished the lips then i thought they looked badass. Now im pondering back and forth so this is what it looked like with black wheels

The rims look better polished. Never really been a fan of all black wheels myself unless they have rim tape on em the same color as the bike.

I had no idea someone had a bike like mine or I guess mine could be like yours... just waiting on the clear coat to finish the side fairings.

Did you see my radiator overflow? I was dying to get it out and ride it and I didn't care who was looking. I know the feeling!

if you go with black rims get rim tape...it does wonders and looks super trick. just check out my rims in my hybrid build.

i am going to get my R6 rim power coated and add lime green rim tape to that also since the orginal black paint has alotof chips and dings...dont ask me how ya do that to a rim? my yellow fzr rims have no dings in the paint.

i vote rim tape over polished and black wheels. as for all black rims they look like hell so polishing the lips looks 100% better but rim tape looks 200% better i think. my2cents
