skipper that what I was looking at doing something different but tasteful, not everyone will like what I will do, but I just trying to be creative and hopefully it looks good...
Im approaching it carefully though, wheels are expensive and just cant replace the at a whim.. But I appreciate the honesty and hopefully I will be inspired and run with my gut feeling.. but please continue to give me your .02 cents.. Thanks

mike, that second rocker you posted pics of looks really sweet. I definitely like that black and red combo.
Another idea I had thought of was a gunmetal look. One of my trucks was the same color as your bike with chrome bumpers and trim, but had like medium-dark gray wheels (Hypersilver they called it?) I think that could look freaking sweet. It would definitely be different. I havent seen too much of the gunmetal gray on bikes.

Why not do the lip red and leave the middle exposed? And maybe powder coat the head light too, to break up all the chrome on the front...

It's hard to tell until you see it... You should photoshop it just to get an idea of what it would look like... Thats what I did before i went with the all black rims... And once I saw it I knew it was the way to go... Good luck brah!
