Wheel colour.....any photoshop experts??

[StreetFlatTwin]

Guys I am looking for someone who knows their way around Photoshop to change the colour of my wheels before I make a trip to the powdercoaters!!

My bike is an original silver R1200S and I still have the original unmarked panels and this bike comes with matching silver wheels, like this


And


As you may be aware I currently had Sandbar's old "Humbug" paint scheme and after seeing his bike


I prefer the look of the black wheels BUT I don't want it to look silly with the silver panels should I split them when I come to sell the R 12S.



So could someone photoshop black wheels onto the silver bike?

Thought on your preferred wheel colour for each colour scheme, please!![/list]

Hi
Black wheels work with any coloured body work. It will look great
Go for it.

Black wheels wont detract from future sale, I don't think - and will look better on the humbug anyway

(with obligatory - red rim-tape, of course............ )

Black every time, I think quite a few people had dealers swap the wheels around on new bikes in order to make a sale.

I like the 'Dead Zebra' with the silver wheels meself.

Yep. Black looks good. Not sure about the red rim tape on a silver bike. Works on my Colgate though.

The valve covers look good Roloo.

Mine need repainting due to some minor damage caused by the protectors. Oh the irony. Might change from silver.

Roloo thanks for that its exactly what I was looking for to compare them!

Al - I share your love of rim tape but thinking more thin white on black wheels...........

Sigh.....another thing on the to do list!!!!

Black front and White rear IMHO. Check and see what colour your powder coat man will do. I can vouch for this guy from this site Steve Turner trading as TPCS.

That would look good with the humbug paint job. Not so sure with the silver .

I would love the different colour wheels (I am a mega fan of white rims!!) but it would mean powdercoating one of the wheels (so they matched) prior to sale time unless I sold the R12S in the custom colours....
Like this??


Anybody photoshop a black front and white rear on my humbug for me??

[ted]

ive been toying with putting black wheels on my silver R1200s - my mate has a boxer cup on with different coloured wheels which looks good. I wondered about leaving the front silver and having the rear wheel black.

Would the majority go for plain black or a metallic ?

[StreetFlatTwin]

well i had a play about with paint...... my computer skills arent great!!!

What do you think black front and white rear??



My concern would be that the whites don't match.....I bought vinyl wrap for my seat cowl to try and match it to the white of the painttwork and it was so far out it looked terrible.....so stripped it and sold it on 'ere. The white paintwork isn't a bright icy white which the powdercoat colour is

Black front and back might be the best solution..............
