    Black rims, what do you think?

    Don't know, if it's PS, anyway, what do you think about the looks?

    complements the front air inlets surprisingly well, but personally I would prefer the wheels to have a polished lip of some sort...not big one, but something to create an outline.

    Re: Black rims, what do you think?

    All black wheels remind me of those grimy police cars and taxis on 1980s US television cop shows where they ran around on their cheap black pressed steel wheels with hubcaps always stolen to give the programs that " gritty" urban crime ridden vibe .
    This Ferrari " taxi" had it's " hubcaps " stolen .

    Re: Black rims, what do you think?

    Polished lips on black wheels also visually enlarges the diameter of the wheel center- otherwise it blends right into the tire and 1) makes the wheel seem smaller and 2) makes the tire seem higher profile - both the antithesis of what the sports car trend has been the past 30 years . These two preceding examples show that quite well.

    In this case it looks nice, I always thought that the R1 is the best looking of the 1000cc class bikes, year after year

    Re: Black rims, what do you think?

    IMO adding the body or otherwise colored lip to the black or darker wheel look adds even more to the ''racing wheel'' look and it helps the wheel not to become totally invisible.
    But I'm yet to see one in real life. People should try to make it not permanent at first just to see how it looks. Who knows maybe it looks good or maybe not.

    I don't think you can ever be 100% from the pics.
