you have added no bling yet so chrome those bitches. or goa different route and get them gold pated or red anodized.

but really how about some black marchesini's, also bling but also a crapload more money.

why are you even asking you don't have money. get some WD40 and clean them off.

I did clean them but they just look DULL/ DUTY/ CRAPOLA. I know I have no $$ at least not right now but once the holidays are over and I can catch up I will.

I am anti credit card so everything is cash/ debit card... which is great cause there is no long term bill but it makes things difficult from time to time kinda like right now

Look >HERE< go to the gallery there are a few picks that might help

are they really black or really dark gray. mine are dark gray, I wish they were really black to match the swingarm/frame.

This year is the first time I've really had much of a balance on my credit cards and even then right now its at around $1000 on one of them and nothing on the other. I have awesome credit and it came in handy when buying the erion even though they gave me $100 less than what we tried for. big deal. and now my credit is even better. I don't get why people pay the minimum, the minimum on mine is like $15, that's not gonna pay off interest if you keep buying stuff.

They look like a dark grey almost to me. I have seen people re PC the rims in a black and its definately darker then the color from the factory.

My credit sucks cause I jacked it up a few yrs ago but its slowly improving at this point so I am happy with that. I do have credit cards but try to only use them iif I truely need to. If I can cover it in cash I would rather do that.

Thanks coderedcbr

I never really liked the regular red but I have seen a few bikes with the translucent red that was kinda nice

The last time I had called a place they were telling me about chrome powder coat which isnt as shinny as well chrome but shinnier then silver.

I know its a truck rim but its the only one I can find right now of the chrome pc

I thought about that... Figured I would pick up all the stuff and do it myself since the bike is out of comission for the next few months.

Get the bitzes powder coated a nice flat/matte black. Black is where it's at man, for wheels and swingarms. Of course that is just my opinion.

Oh, and BTW, congrats on your rapidly developing skills!

My skills are dwarfed by the master whore

I think the black would look better then what is given to us by ol mother Honda

If you take the 75-100 bucks that it's going to cost you to PC them and use it towards some SS lines, HRC brake pads, frame sliders, or a new rear tire that you're probably going to need soon, I think it would make more sense. Not to mention that it'll cost you to unmount/remount/rebalance the tires in the process. I thought about PC'ing them too, but then realized that the funds could be better used on actually improving the performance of the bike instead. They are ugly and heavy so instead of throwing money at something I don't want/like on my bike anyway, I'll just save my dough and use it towards a pair of those blingy BST carbon fiber wheels.

There coming anyway... Getting tires for xmas (the 207's are toast), pads are pretty new and work fine for me, lines are coming sometime before spring. I held off on changing all the fluids when I got it so I can do it one time with the SS lines and motul fluid

Somewhere in there I need to rob a bank so I can get pipes, pcIII, and an undertail

Anyone ever see Black PC'd wheels?

I was just looking around the net and saw a set of aftermarket rims but they were in black (true black not honda grey) They looked pretty sweet just dont think it would be worth the $$ to strip mine and re-powder coat them to almost look the same

I need to get a new job where I can actually make the $$ I used to first

I went from having $$ burning a hole in my pocket to just having a hole in my pocket

I know the feeling, believe me

C'mon guys, it's ten days to Christmas Eve. If you haven't got a hole in the pocket this time of year, you've not got sufficient SO's, family and friends. LOL.
