I have a bog standard "grey" r1100s that I have wanted to personalise for some time but unsure which way to go....then I saw this on the web !
Where and how do I get my wheels blacked like those ? ...anyone know of any good panel sprayers ?

My brother had an R1100S in grey - IIRC he 'brightened' it with a couple of Maltese crosses.....

Not so keen on the overall look, but if you want your wheels done - I'd recommend Steve Turner here:

Wheels were Steve's business at Dymag.

Not sure how putting dark grey or black wheels on a grey S is going to 'brighten it up'

I'll swap your grey fairings for a set of yellow ones if you want to brighten it up!

wouldn't the alternate sport colour brighten it up for you?

I agree - I saw a Red Porsche Boxter today with Black Alloy wheels - it looked dreadful.

That's my old bike!
Strange that someone else is hosting it

Still uncertain? Why not just do one side yellow:

The question has absolutely nothing to do with Rimmin`
