Having a little re-jig around, and I have some spare rims in silver that would potentially end up on a predominantly black bike.
The tart in me is saying this is going to look a bit meh.
Anyone got pics of their black ish bike with silver rims??
It's weird, I HATE anything but black rims even though I am partial to a bit of Hope bling and other anodised goodies.
But actually, silver rims on a black bike with other silver bits could look quite nice.
I had white Stans rims on an all black bike, and it looked pretty cool (IMO!)
I think it could look good, all black is usually a bit too stealth but just a bit of bling can look great.
I do have some silver XT brakes and cranks that could also 'supplement' the silver I guess.
I've also had Stans rims in white on a black frame and fork and it looked mint.
MTB - all black, or black with decals in my opinion.
Silver looks nice on road bikes of a more classic shape - roundish tubed metal ones.
Generally, I'm a fan of a coloured (ie mainly one colour, with logos) frame, and everything else as black as possible.
I like silver rims, there's just not many options unless you sand them down yourself.
Black frames with anodized trinkets is a trend that really needed to die 20 years ago and go live in this thread.
