Hey guys!
I finally got my wheels back, mounted etc. In October I had gotten a flat tire, so I had to order new tires, but since my OEM paint was coming off from the wheels ( I used non approved chain cleaner ) I decided to get my wheels powdercoated. I mounted my own tires ( Pilot road 2's). I went with the Pilot's again because the first set was amazing, and I balanced my own wheels using Dynabeads.
I also upgraded to shorty style levers which I ordered from Ebay.... call me crazy but these things are more solid than the OEM ones.
On to the peektures... for some reason the lighting is playing an effect on the wheels and making them look burgandy..
If anyone has any questions please let me know! Thanks Colin

Love the way your wheels came out, even if the colour seems unrelated... I have a question: Do you live near The Bronx Bull? I ask because it looks like he's hacked up your fender too!

Nite. The first 2 pictures are the true color/ it also switched to an orange on verry sunny days.... Idk why they look purple on the computer, it was a tad overcast out today as well. I will try to get some better pictures this week once it warms up some more and I can find a nice location.

They seem to match the red of your lever-tabs too, so I'm assuming it's the same red (or similar enough...) to the 'F' decal? i really like your levers too, by the way...
