I always like the wheels on various GP bikes.So I decided to do my wife brand new 9 and my 12.They came in precut,preshaped pieces.They were a little time consuming but take your time and they lay sraight.What do ya's think??   | ||

I like it against the gold on the 12. It's a little harder to see on the 9, but it's pretty cool. | ||

Maybe this helps.  | ||

| Dukeoftank |

I like the red against those raised yellow letters, makes it look BadAzz! | ||
| M1combat |
Very nice... Where are you finding the raised yellow lettered Sportecs? | ||
| Dana P. |
I got them on Ebay.They were in multiple colors.  | ||

M1 I have tried many paint pens but none hold up like this one.Probably find it in your favorite office supply store.  | ||

I saw those stripe kits on Ebay, I think. I like the look. Nice job  p.s. How many pieces per side, per wheel?? (Message edited by tank_bueller on July 21, 2005) | ||

Your Welcome.  | ||

Looks cool. I'd like to see somebody do blue ones on a City X. | ||

Red on the 12 pulls your attention away fron the wheel itself... Trained artist eye speaking there.. Like it on the 9 though might actually try it myself. ••• for every seat and although it's not my thing on a 12.. it does look good. | ||
| Dana P. |
I didn't think so but then again pictures sometimes pictures don't do justice.Ithought you where a cop??Trained artists eye??To be an artist I didn't think you could be trained.I thought it was a gift. | ||

So they say.. Prat in NYC for 4 yrs in commercial art and design before becoming a moving target. Could very well be the pics and if so the 9 looks much better than the 12. | ||

There's an outfit that makes reflective wheel striping. Can't make up my mind if I'd like it our not... | ||
| Dana P. |
We are talking wheels here....sheesh.One thing that they should of taught you though is in art there is no right or wrong. | ||

i've got the reflective black stripes on my City-X wheels. you can't see 'em most of the time but they stand out at night when you've got traffic approaching from your 3 and 9 o'clock. since i've pulled off the factory reflectors, this gives me just a bit more peace of mind. i'll see if i can find a pic to post. | ||

The 12 looks awesome!! | ||
| Trac95ker |
That looks great! I like it on both...Whats the other side look like? Dana P., Will wheel cleaner make the color bleed? Is it a pain in the ••• to remove it if I screw it up? | ||
| Dana P. |
Trac95er its the same both sides.Wheel cleaner shouldn't have an effect on it but I just use soap and water anyways.As far as removing if you screw up???It will let you pull it up to fix it. | ||
| Hammer71 |
Never said right or wrong just gave opinion. like they say.. eveyones got one right ? Love it on the 9 but not the 12. Shoot me if ya want but hey its not mine so what does it matter. Soap and water on the stripes is fine wheel cleaner will slowly pull the color off and bubble.(personal experience). | ||
| Dana P. |
Not bothered by it at all.I asked for opinions and thoughts didn't I?I just got kick out of the train artist eye thing.I like it thats all that matters right? | ||
| Hammer71 |
very true. watch that tape though.. steer clear of any chemical cleaners and you will be fine. I'm trained in verbal judo and I was once potty trained as well LOL. | ||
| Dana P. |
LMAO!!! | ||
| Trac95ker |
I just wanted to see the other side because front rotor would be in the back round and the stripe would stand out more. Sorry, I meant the paint pen bleeding on the rim. | ||
| Dana P. |
Trac I think you may damage the lettering. | ||

Hey Dana, looks sweet on both bikes!! Love it!! |
