How an you tell a rim is clear coated vs powder coated from a forum picture? Have you considered that it could be a clear powder coat over the base color.....or maybe not?

I would hope that it is clear powder coat otherwise it's not going to be pretty very long.......
I am not big on gold but the Daytona does the gold and black real well. If you did the gold rims and had the Silver Sprint Sticker done in Gold I think that would look real good too.
Options of the rim color for the blue bikes is limited. I would like to see what silver rims would look like on the blue.
Here are some photos of an ST that was on fleabay a while back. I think gold looks good.
I sure do like that look! That bike has a bunch of really nice farkles all over it if you look hard enough...
Is that at California BMW/Triumph?
It would also be interesting to know if that's a pre-owned machine or new ('07 leftover) with a bunch of dealer installed goodies.
Just for sh!ts and giggle's I messed with the rim colors in photoshop...

Looking for a flush cowl for your '05+ Sprint ST? http://ssersedvs.lw-s13.sserv.de/hau...e_modelle.html
You beat me to it! I really like the silver and would go a touch lighter. I would also like to see the frame in silver as well. I think if I am going to go through all that trouble I will just get the 2008 S3 rims. Good job Kory. Blue or Silver - they look good. Nothing like taking your bike to the next step of unique.
yikes!!! easy on the photoshop guys!!!
green wheels on blue is a stinkaroo. I was just scrolling up waiting for the pink on purple to come up and burn my retinas out.
I like the original blue on blue pict....
so has anyone ever chromed them? too farkley probably huh.
just wondering....
I find this bike such a classy looking bike that sometimes its better left alone. the blue and red ones are more sportier looking than the silver. I find the silver much more Aston martin-ish. classy fast look....
so yeahhhhh... gues I'm trying to say I dont want to see DUB 24" spinners on a Aston martin DB9 either.
oh.. I was worried about it with my spicy tridents but luckliy I liked it. DOH!

I have a 2007 Black ST and think the matching rims are hideous. Thinking about having them powdercoated gold just to give the bike some contrast! Thoughts?
I did not like the black rims on my '05 so I had them powdercoated along with a few other bits. Like they say, to each his own.
Good job Kory. Blue or Silver - they look good. Nothing like taking your bike to the next step of unique.
