Green wheels on a black bike, what do you think?
I went way out on a limb and powder coated my wheels Kawi green. I had to replace both tires so I thought I would customize while I had it apart. My plan is to go with the Monster Energy drink theme. I have all the decals including sponsor decals as well but I haven't got around to putting them on yet. I think the bike looks good the way it is without the decals. It seems a bit more sporty to me. Personally I dig it but it's not everyones cup of tea.

I'd do the rest of the bike; that green is hot and it has Kawi all over it!

It would be hot. Never say never. I like to take chances 
(but then the wheels would have to change color)

God I hate silver and chrome. I would have to go gold or black. Maybe white going out on a limb again.

Tonytooth,
I had similar thoughts for bike, but was going to powder coat spokes and hubs green while keeping the rim black. The bike would definitely need some more green on the front, sides and rear end. The AMA monster bikes are a nice combo...so is R. Gadsen's AMA ZX-14.

I love the green wheels. Some green trim somewhere else on the bike to set if off and contrast will look awesome.

Not my cup of tea... But I think you could pull it off with some-more green. Not too much, but just enough to balance out the scheme...GOOD LUCK!
