Prepared to be proved wrong here, but I've never seen a black bike look good with white wheels.

Good looking or not, that's up to you but I like it.

Lovely - I need some tough white rims for my Soul - what are those?

Thanks

George is spot on.

Not sure I'd bother next time an just stick with black rims

Ditto George's comment........

Actually a very dark blue but looks black in the pic:

I like the white rims, everyone knows they're faster 😉 Flows also still clean up well after 2 years of abuse.

George, you're wrong. (Well in my opinion at any rate)!

I think it looked great. Sadly I put a flatspot of the rear so now it's got a black rim. Which is now a pringle so I may go white again.

Ben/Dave - you need white bars fellas.

But Dave, that looks great. It's what I'm after on mine.

I've just added white Revs, white bars and a white fender bender to this:

And now it's too white at the front - so I need white rims to balance it out. Who makes nice builds with Stans?

Sorry - here's the pic:

I got my wheels custom built by Merlin on red Hope pro 2 hubs, they were not cheap at about £340 but the build quality has been spot-on. If you want black Hope hubs then Merlin are currently doing Hope Hoops for £295. Superstar come in cheaper at £220 with thier own Switch hubs and more hub colour options but from what I've seen on the forums, the build quality can be a bit hit and miss.

On One whippet in black and white rim flavour

Not seen anything on here to change my opinion - every bike above would look better with black rims, IMO.

By way of comparison here is mine again, this time with my son's Hardrock Disc.

Thanks Dave.

Colournoise - what's your frame? Looks mint.

Davewalsh - what size BP is that please, is it 17"?

Now has black rims though, and less white bits everywhere, so for comparison -

FWIW, I like both colour schemes but think if you go with white rims you need to balance it with white bits and pieces elswhere.

Brand new, fresh out of the box today.

22lbs 13oz though I'm hoping to trim that down further.

I think the white gear cables will have to go. The Elixr CR brakes [u]definitely[/u] will along with the factory saddle.
