Like the look of that the black and grey break up the red nicely.

Yes I think I am going to go with the Black wheels. They give the bike a more modern and purposeful look. May paint the center nose section black too.

The grey looks really good on the nose - black would look too heavy I reckon IMHO

I agree, a carbon section would look better, but would probably double your costs :roll:

Rim tape??

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! It's like wearing white socks with black shoes... [smilie=stop here.gif]

The bike looks great in the pic - as Andrew said, the grey bits really set the red off nicely.

Edit: What it does need of course is some Boxertrix stickers - please contact our erstwhile merchandising officer, Monsieur Paul, for the necessary ;)
