I'm thinking powder-coating the wheels gold might look good. Anyone switching up the color of there wheels? My 2011 Ninja is all black with no decals except the tank. Thoughts?

OK Goldfinger

Any future plans for other gold accents/trim?

I guess gold is a complementary color with black... colors of Army football and such. Many match black with blue or red but those wheels may be too strong.

If I had a black bike I would like chrome but its so hard to keep clean on these bikes.

You'll have to press out the wheel bearings & replace them. Powder coating is the durable way IMO.

Yeah, new wheel bearings are a must when powder coating. Been through it numerous times.

Just a thought. In reality I'll probably spend money on better things such as upgraded suspenders for my heavy *** and track days.

Why not try plastidip with gold Metalizer?!

I think gold will look good. A guy at work has a black 10R with gold wheels, rear sets, and calipers. The effect is striking.
I have the '14 candy blue, but I don't like the black wheels either. I was thinking of having the wheels powder coated silver, but I may just strip and polish the rims. That looks pretty good too.

I like black wheels as they don't require as much time keeping the chain crud cleaned off.

If you want gold accents, I'd just start with having gold wheel stripes.
It will be more subtle and suits better with other minimal gold accessories on the bike.
