No, but Invisiframe can produce covering decals for you in any colour you so desire....

Swap you my (only ever so slightly) knackered XR1501s from 4 years ago - they've got white logos on the hubs?

😛

Nope they are all waterslide graphics (same as the rims too).

There are versions of them that are different colours too.

Thanks all. Torn between the Hunt Trailwide 30, Newmen Evolution 30, or these. Hunts obvviously massively cheaper, but a litle bit heavier. Newmen a bit of an unknown, but light and look good, 1501s same weight, maginally more expensive (but offset a little by including tape & valves) and more proven but a bit garish.

Just get the DT's they're far superior to the Hunts in every way.

I have the Hunts; while they're a great wheelset and have been perfect so far, if I could have stretched to the XM1501 it would have been a no-brainer. Yet to hear a single bad word about them.

Newmen look very comparable to DT Swiss.
I've specced them on my new bike as there were no EX1501 in the country.

Currently on XM1501 so should be a good comparison, not that I'm particularly hard on wheels. The XMs have been great though.

Oh and the Newmen were significantly cheaper from the distro by all accounts.

I don’t have any of those wheels but all my Dt wheels and rims have been faultless to date (e1900 wheelset and XM481 rims on another wheelset).

There were some Hunt wheels on the Cotics that were at a demo day yesterday and the hubs were really loud - made my Hope Pro4’s sound quiet.

My Hunt road wheels have been pretty good so far and look nice.

Great wheelset, I’m on my third or 4th set now.  Decals are not that garish on the bike.  Absolutely hammered my current set and they are in great condition still.

I've been tempted to brush some white sprit on mine. Shirley its a black rim with red graphics over, so the red bit must come off, but may make a mess of the black in the process.

Sharpie?

What happened to turning your bike upside down, spinning the wheels and blasting your rim with black spray paint?

Worked for me on every BMX I ever had.

Get the DT Swiss wheels and buy some graphics if it worries you that much. They're 240 hubs, bombproof rims and really well built up. Ridiculous how good they are, and what you'd pay for the individual parts. Worth it for the hubs alone.

Seriously impressed with my set. They've been flawless for the past 3 years. I actually bought a second set for a new build that has not progressed so they're up for sale if you're interested?
