Black Rims

[iaff84]

Came across this look in an add for sale of trike. Wondered what the T Glide would look like with flat black stock rims. I like it and think I have a winter project now.

Now I like that, wish I thought of that before going chrome.

Black is just what my mechanic recommended I paint mine, since they are pitted and look like hell.

I really like the Look !! Sort of a whole 'stealth' thang going on there !

that does look nice -- if I don't win the wheel giveaway I think I'll have mine done

 

[jcolson]

I'll stick with stock or chrome. Never did like blacked out stuff. Some things look ok. Just not my thing.

I am going to have to talk with my local powder coat guy that has a large enough oven to do mine. Was thinking the silver vain (silver / black) but now that I see these in satin black I like the look. Now wish my bike was black and not Merlot/Black. Still think it would look good.
What type lug covers does those wheels have? Anybody know?

Those are Harley center covers......I just ordered a pair off of EBay for 40 bucks. Part number 83841-09

I think the baby moons would look great with the black rims..

If my trike was black, I'd definitely do it. I like the look! ThumbUp

I wonder how gloss black wheels would look on a red trike with gloss black baby moons?

And you gotta have wide whitewalls with that combo. !ThumbUp

I am going to try the satin black on the stock rims then add the chrome HD lug covers.
But, I also like the regular rim, baby moon look.

Dennis,
I like the look, on a black bike. It is very unique. You should go for it.

It's like a twist on a classic Servi-Car look. Not a bad thing if that is the look you are going for. I don't think the factory wheels are the hottest looking wheels but I do like them a lot. Since I didn't win those PMC wheels I plan on adding the hub caps (not the baby moons).

I have had to put this on back burner for now, have too many irons in the fire at this time. At least it is not off the stove.
I am not into the total "black out" on bikes but I also do not like the look and finish of stock wheels. This seems a good option.

Just exchanged mine for stock wheels in chrome they look a lot better than stock wheels.

Dennis,
So you got it on simmer? :laugh:. That's cool, nothing wrong with that. Keeps it hot while you concentrate on the rest of the meal. Being a self proclaimed chef I can appreciate that.

Wait, are we talking wheels or dinner here. Damn, now I am hungry........:gah:

So the same design only in chrome? I thought I checked.....don't remember those............I bet they are nice looking! Any pics?

Very unique. Just not my look. You see it a login performance sports cars. I don't like it on those cars either. I think you loose the definition of the wheels when they are black. Just my opinion.
