Silver on the honda looks better than the gold. I heard that the red ones fade alot. The gold will also fade but not quite as much. Enjoy!

Buy black ones. There is someone selling a pair in the For Sale Forum here on DRN for $175. You might want to take a look.

Ditto on the black. It looks really trick:D

RED or GOLD

I'd say that Black rims look good on just about all brands if the graphics have the right colors. I've seen red rims on Todd Dehoops Arenacross bikes this year, and they do stand out, but I don't know that I'd get them. I have black Excel Rims on my 99 KX250, and I get quite a few complements.

Black it go's with every thing!

OK, go with black then, sheeesssh!

Man, you really got your arm twisted there :p

Just put the gold on my 00 CR-500 and they look good but I have black plastic and red/black graphics. I do like the black though and if I didn't get such a good deal from a fellow DRN member I would have went with black.

Don't the black one look like crap after a while. if you scratch them changing a tire or even riding in rocks, won't that leave silver scratches. i admit they do look awsome but for how long???:think

Medical science has proven that colored rims make you go much, much slower.

 

[mrbigal81]

Yeah, are those black rims gonna scratch up easy???????????????:silly:

I hate the black rims, just ask Chip;)
