Opinions on wheel/hub color and spoke/nipple color?

[CRF450RIDER07]

Okay so I'm about to change the color of my wheels and hubs. So you all tell me what you think would look better. I'm going with a black rim, blue hub. Now should I do black spokes with blue nipples or do half blue and black spokes with black and blue nipples. If i go that route I will lace it so that a black spoke goes to a blue nipple, then a blue spoke to a black nipple. Having a hard time deciding which way would look better. Thanks guys

Hmm, never thought of half & half colored spokes ...

I used this to get an idea of what combo would look good .http://www.prowheelracing.com/custom-wheel-builder/

I like the black rims and magnesium hubs. Never been a fan of color on spokes...to much freestyle for my taste. But hey !...that´s my taste, not yours !

Here's a pic of my 08 with blue rims and nipples, chrome spokes, and powdercoated black hubs.

Slightly on topic, but I saw a YZF with GREEN hubs and nipples (wheels', not his) at the race yesterday. Don't know what that rider was thinking....

Black rims, blue hubs, blue nipples, black or silver spokes

I like the look of the silver rims/blue nipples/silver spokes/blue hubs.

[CRF450RIDER07]

How would the powdercoat come off of the spokes? I'd think the paint would chip off the rim before the spokes wouldnt it? I had a set of wheels powdercoated before and I never had them chip and im a woods racer.

if you are getting blue hubs and want blue nipples, just make sure they match. many times they dont and two different color blues there will look bad.

I would definitely stick with a single color for the spokes
