I have just built some new wheels and they have grey decals on black rims. I’m pondering the notion of something a bit brighter.

Bike is an orange Occam. It has some lime green highlights.

What do we think? Orange, lime, keep the grey, something else, remove them altogether?

Following with interest – I’ve just rebuilt a wheel with a plain black Kinlin rim. It bores me.

Where are you looking to buy replacement decals?

That sounds nice.

Orange

Ew

lime

No

It’s not 2013 any more.

I’m with Superficial: whilst some time ago I’d have been all over co-ordinated rims, not so much now.

Go nuts. I normally desticker rims but got orange ones for my blue and orange Occam and I like the look of it (2nd pic below). The frame colours are bold anyway. Full stealth on the hardtail though.

Yeah, I’m genuinely in two minds about it. I see the photos from davros above and actually like they.

I’ll probably go to Slik if I decide I want some.

My new bumblebee coloured bike has had the rims de-stickered. Not sure if I like it or not. Whoever did it left most of the glue behind 🙄 I thought I’d just clean the glue off and leave them, but I did consider new yellow stickers for the forks, currently grey… Ebay is a great source of bike related decals.

Should’ve sprayed ’em white before you built them up…

If you want to add a splash of colour I’d be matching the highlights rather than main frame colour. Personally though, stealth or de-stickered all the way.

I’ve seen a couple of bikes I’ve liked with matchy rim decals. What they had in common was that they were small stickers – eg just the manufacturer logo and no model name. I think subconsciously I thought they looked like cool prototypes that a pro is keeping secret.
