Premium Member username Posted July 13, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 13, 2015 Has anyone coloured their rims white on a white FZ-07 yet? I am definitely thinking of getting mine powder coated or plasti-dipped or painted some day but would enjoy seeing a preview first. With that being said what is the best way to colour the rims?

rewplayff Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think that would look nice. Which is why I want to do something similar to my bike. I'll wait for tire changing time to get them powder coated. In the mean time I'm ordering some mint colored rim tape for a little preview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkH Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 In google image search enter in: white fz 07 white rims You should see one result on row 2 which has a piss-poor photoshop job but you'll get the idea. There is also one famous white fz 07 with older style yamaha designs on it which has white rims, along with red accents. Its not a good example (for what you wanted to see) because there are so many other painted parts on the bike which is changing the entire look of it compared to stock design but there is that. Its floating on here somewhere, maybe someone will find it and post it. I visit here at least once a week. Got any questions, ask and I will answer!

Global Moderator sorkyah Posted July 13, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2015 Here it is I believe those wheels are lightweight replacements if i remember right, not just painted. If that's the same bike i saw on another forum ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted July 14, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted July 14, 2015 I think that is photo shopped too. It gives a good idea of what it would look like though. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I had white rims on two previous bikes and they are a lot of work to keep clean. Plan on wiping them down after every trip because if you let the dirt/dust build up it takes more effort to remove. My .2¢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzid1320 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 ^ that's what I would also be most concerned about. It's like owning a glossy black car. Looks awesome but only when it's clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motomachines Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Regarding methods of painting them, I believe powder coating would be the longest lasting, especially with rims. Plastidip is going to be inexpensive, though it will come off the fastest. Regular paint will wear off eventually, and may wear unevenly. Powder coating will be the most expensive option, though it will look the best, in my opinion, and should last the longest.
