Chrome :roll:

The idea is to make them easier to clean, not harder :oops:

Depends what kind of chrome you're after, I didnt go for the American mirror effect on mine, More of a silver none shiney chrome. It didnt need much attention and didnt look to made dirty either.

Mine are gold on the TL, have to say done right Gold looks smart on any bike...

saw a lush blue Fireblade today, had gold dymag wheels on, yum bling bling!!! :D

I still think on a GSXR black would look the smartest, plus wouldn't show up the dirt as much...
On the other hand though that might make you forget to clean them, so the brake dust builds up and is then a bugger to get off, I've used parafin on my front rim, and it still looks dull :( LOL more elbow greese needed me thinks :)

Dave,

For easier cleaning, it's always black wheels, but that's lazy, i used to love cleaning my gixer! :lol:

As for the best looking, it's always florecent orange on the blue and white gixer. :wink:
