I had mine powder coated. (If you're going to do this, you don't need to pay extra for polished. Get "raw" and then have them powder coated.)

I love my rims, my bike stands out everywhere I go (of course not on HDF, blacked out dynas seem to be the norm on here lol, and there are more and more popping up with red rims).

I agonized over going with red or black rims for months before I decided on red, mostly because I love the rat rod look on the old hot rods, I kind of tried to emulate that.

There are for sure enough examples of red rims on HDF that you should be able to use those to help make your choice.
