I think if theres even a sliver of a chance that you might get white walls, black rims just in case. I do like the chrome spoke idea.

I think black rims and hubs with chrome or SS spokes and white walls would be killer

At one point I was kicking around white (like an antique white) rims and black spokes. That look works on certain kinds of retro style bikes.

oh yeah 200 tire?...haha...no walls at all to be white.

i like that antique white theme...or at least color matched to the header wrap?...more of a cream color rim and hub with black spokes.

I like the wheels on this bike (I kinda like the bike too but that's off topic)

I would go red my self, but if that is not in the cards for you I would say black all the way.

I think someone should photo-shop a pic with "HOT, AVON PINK"! It would be a maintenance issue, but DAMN Damien, How HOT would THAT be!?
