Black or chrome rotors??
So i'm taking my bike apart before my trip here in three weeks and of course things run through your head what can I do while its apart. I have my buddy's fatbob in the garage and he has black powdered wheels with chrome DNA rotors (looks a lot like the wilwoods) and it looks good. I was thinking about going with the black wilwoods and keep my rims chrome, but I can't find anybody that has done this with spokes. I know the black rim with black wilwoods look badass, but I don't want to take my rims apart till winter to get them powdered. I want to black out my bike more..... eventually! I know it's "played out" on this forum, but not to me and I don't see too many blacked out bikes in person. I plan on painting the pulley black as well.
So what do you guys think and does anyone have pics of black rotors on all chrome spoke wheels??
This bike!!
This is the only pic I can find of the front rotor side. I guess I don't take to many pictures of the left side.

go black man... to give you an idea here are mine with powder coated rotors and polished spokes with black hub and rim... i would go black if i was you it would help tie your lowers into the wheel a bit more... and coat your stock man we only charge $45 each to do them
If I had your bike, Jaron, I think I'd go with the black. Interested to see how it looks on your bike.
I've also considered changing rotors. The factory front rotor is a 'floating' design I think. Am I giving up anything going to a solid rotor? I'm also looking at the DNA's.
