As long as you're asking..... :roll:

White rims with frame red pinstripes and whitewalls might be cool. The rim and sidewall beside each other would look like 'super wide' whitewalls and give it a cool 'deep V' modern look. Rustoleum makes a white epoxy enamel that's hard as nails.

As long as you're asking..... :roll:

:shock: great ideas, what about doing the inside flat of the rims frame red and using white on the outside lip to give it that super wide whitewall look?

Great idea! Go for it! That rat trap fork in red with the rockers flipped would be awesome with that frame.

i dont really like chrome. i was thinking about having them sandblasted to remove all the chrome then either having them powder coated or id paint them. just not sure what colors to go with. i dont want too much of one color and not enough of the other on this build

Paint looks great. I could see same color rims with whitewalls or cream colored rims with blackwalls. Don't know about fork.


thanks for the comment on the paint. im not sure what i want to do yet with the rims. BUT white wall tires for sure, ive already got them lol i dont want any chrome on this bike but im sure it will have chrome lol
 
Hhmmm...I would go for flat black rims and spokes w/ an 1/8" red stripe (the same color as the frame) and use all black tires. But since you already have the whitewalls...
 
What might look pretty cool and different at the same time. white tires, white rims, anodized or flat gold spokes. then some gold leaf pin-striping. red handle bars w/ white grips
