Hi Guys,

Its a simple problem really but just can't work out what to do. Hopefully you guys can help me out.

I have a black and white Deluxe with a chrome front end. I am in the process of powdercoating my hubs and profile rims gloss black and lacing them with stainless spokes.

My dilemma is this - What do I do with the large hub cap on the left hand side. Leave it chrome or powdercoat it black like the rims.

I just can't decide...Help!!!

Look forward to hearing your comments

Rob.

I would imagine that you should leave it off if your hub is getting powder coated black. Just my thought. Perhaps you could powder coat the spacers black as well.

I love the hubcap -- I'd leave it as is.

I would say take it off. I like mine but with your customizing of the wheel, chrome does not fit in and would just hide the cool hub. Sounds like it is going to be nice.
