hey guys i want your opinions. Im thinking about changing the coor of my rims i dont liek how the black looks with the gold forks i think i clashes... I saw a green zx6r this weekend with the rims painted green and it looked super cool, it looked like a toy bike... sooooo im thinking about painting my rims the same color as the bike (blue). I was also thinking about getting gold ones so that they match with the forks but i dont know if thats too much gold, i dont really like gold too much so im not so sure i want to do that. anyway, what do u think about the blue? I already painted my rear hugger blue... is it too much or will it look cool. What do u think??

I think the blue would be really cool. I plan on doing the same thing to my bike when i have the $ to get the whole thing painted something other then the black thats on it now. Post pics wen you get it done.

I was thinking the same thing from the first day I saw my blue Ninja 250 on the showroom floor.

As a new rider I was pretty much set on taking the advice I've read on the web and I wasn't really looking at anything other than a Ninja 250 (as a former Miata driver I like light vehicles that perform well at a high redline.) I was definitely set on the blue and I like the look of the 250's fairing, but the black wheels are just so blah.

I almost asked the dealer if they had matching touch-up paint but I forgot. If they don't have it, where's a good place to get exact color matched paint?

What about the mufflers? Does they get hot enough to peel or discolor paint? I think I'd like to have the wheels and the exhaust match the color of the fairing.

you definitely cant paint an exhaust pipe.. but you can get anodized ones like the ones micron sells... they look pretty cool... ya i think im going to go for the blue... i like it. !! Ill definitley post pics when i get it done!!

Hey Kawa, this is your newbie twin. I was thinkin' the same thing with my 636. Blue would look tight on the rims. I was also thinkin' about ordering a can of spray paint from Color-rite to paint my huggers cuz i've seen bikes with that and it just makes everything come together more. oh yeah, i finally got my Micron slip-on; sounds and looks awesome. are you still thinkin' about getting that system? send pix of your blue rims if/when you get em'...

And i have decided to do it.. im probably going to be doing it in about 3 weeks... ill show you guys when its done. yippy!!
