Show me your: bikes with white rims

Do they look monstrous? Thinking of getting some superstar flow wheels and need help on colour scheme…
Thanks

they look crap….go to halfords and you’ll see loads

This’ll put you off:

Oy! Craig, do you mind!!!
Here’s me advertising a beautiful white-wheeled piece of loveliness and you go and liken it to Halfrauds….

Pics here

Here’s my set of flows on pro 2 hubs on 3 different bikes:

😀

I’ve had them about 2 years now and they’re still in good nick. Yes they have quite a lot of chips and stuff but any bike that’s ridden will. From a distance you still get the pimped out look fo sho.

Presonally I think that any clour other than black just looks wrong. Too much stickerage also looks wrong and can make the wheel look wonky.

Can i have it back please I didn’t mean to sell it

In 29er flavour

haha, only a troll Ian:wink:

if you have a white frame go for it – other wise the fashion police will get you!

as I thought… though that singular looks nice, it would still probably look better with black (or even better, polished alu!)

white wheels are heavier. FACT.

(may only be true for stans rims, but it is still a FACT).

looks familiar that GEOFF1!

White seatpost didn’t last too long…. 1 bit of white too far.

And with black rims for comparison….

captaindanger thanks for starting this thread – i’m thinking of some white xc rims too. I’ve always been anti white – black rims, spokes and hubs on all bikes. But some of the white rims on this thread don’t look too bad i think white forks help

Does white clean up ok post winter ride or does it lose its super whiteness?

I always hated white rims. And look at me now.

Not a very good picture I’m afraid.

Wasn’t sure about the white rims, but the black versions were hideous. Looks ok I think.

I like ’em

I might also have some for sale.

Syncros FL DS23 rims on Hope Pro2 hubs.

hi druidh yhm ….

Bit of a spam but I might also know of some for sale. Synchros DS28 on Formula hubs. Front is a 15mm axle and the rear is 12×135. They have been taken off a mate’s Saracen Ariel for no reason other than he wanted black ones :roll:. Email me if interested.

Here you go

slainte 😀 rob

I was a bit unsure about these:

as the bike had always had all-black parts but they looked OK.
Weird angle on that shot by the way, frame seems to look smaller than it actually is…

Phew. Building my Scandal with white rims this weekend and seeing these it will look great I reckon…

Just fitted my Christmas sun ringles…… I like ’em. 😀

That Ragley looks awesome. Just right

White rims never fail to make any bike look cheap.

the only bike that pulls it off in that lot is the Handjob.

the only bike that carries it off in that lot is the Handjob.

Yeah you’re right.

F*ck me Jedi, you need to get a carpenter in.

I’ve just taken delivery of some white rims. The urge to doodle on them with marker pens is strong. I’m thinking four letter expletives…

lol@skywalker

slowrider, doodle away 🙂

They look ok on “fast” looking bikes like that Lapierre or Commencal

On trail centre mincing “hardcore hardtails” like on one/ragley/cotic they look absolutely shite. It seems that the biffers who own these types of bikes have absolutely no taste as they always seem to spec white rims, along with white bars, white forks, a white saddle, white grips etc. etc.

My Meta on white rims 🙂
