I HAVE AN XB12S AND AM TIRED OF THE AMBER WHEELS.CAN THEY BE PAINTED OR DO THEY HAVE TO BE POWDER COATED???????????? | ||
| Lonexb |
either way,just comes down to personal preference | ||

Lonexb, how did you do yours? i'm thinkin black too. i almost want to try spray paint. | ||
| Lonexb |
some people have had very good results with spray paint. i on the other hand, now my limits and had my rims powder coated. i am way to impatient to wait the time needed between coats of paint. it really was not that bad. all said and done it cost me $240 to have my rims and all 4 heal guards done. including new bearings and all mounting hardware for both rotors and rear pully. plus i know the finish on the rims is tough and durable, and it will not peal and flake in the future. | ||

Had my painted by a fellow 3%er (Silverbullet) at his body shop. Turned out perfect and have about 2k miles on them and no chips.   | ||

Just had mine painted to match the bike. It's the only way to get a perfect colour match. http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/norriesbuellxb9s/images/3-picture3.gif?0.937 1205953847301 http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/norriesbuellxb9s/images/3-picture1.gif?0.6484665562611854 Norre.

Wow, both of your painted rims look great. I like how you left the outside polished. | ||
| Lonexb |
sorry if i insulted any one with painted rims. i just meant that if i had painted them they would probably chip and peal. | ||

i think id rather paint my bike the same as the wheels. they have a cool flip flop green in them |
