I would have expected it to not look very good if described to me but the pictures show it actually works rather well  Thumb Up

I saw a White one with Red Wheels & that just looked "halfords"  IMHO of course

You have no taste or sense of style. In fact, there's no hope for you. Wave

As for the powder-coated wheels, well done for trying something different.

I'm not a massive fan of black wheels tbh, but I do actually quite like that.  Looks awesome with the black stripes.  Good choice Thumb Up
How much did it cost for the powder coating?  I'd love to see what the 10-spokes would look like in white  Smiley

The powder coating cost £40 per wheel and £40 to strip & rebuild the rims, so £200 in total
