+--- Thread: Powder coating on the wheels? (/showthread.php?tid=9596)
RE: Powder coating on the wheels? - kennyw - 07-03-2015
I love the 2013 over the 2014 dlx because it isn't overboard with silver and chrome. I like the black wheels in the photoshopped pic better.

Another nay vote. I like the silver wheels
But as others have so wisely mentioned the final vote is up you

I don't know that there is anyone who likes the black/silver wheels on the 2013 CB1100 more than I do. Probably my favorite feature of the bike. But even I have to vote nay in this case.
To me the '14 DLX vibe is different: a bit less sporty /a bit more conservative and classy. Looking at the images provided, I just don't think that black wheels work nearly as well as the OEM silver wheels do as the silver wheels nicely compliment the silver engine (and vice versa).

It really is a matter of taste but since you asked...With the all black rims they remind me of the style of the black fiberglass BMX wheels (although beefier) that became popular when BMX bikes first hit the scene. The cast spokes of the Honda somewhat copy that look. If you go this route I'd replace the fenders or paint them. They clash with the black rims

I have the '14 black one and I like black wheels but I like the black wheels to be a gloss black. Something I will change on mine when putting different tires on.
I like them both. Actually I'd really like to have some black rimmed spokes on mine.

+1 to all of the above-my feelings exactly.

Another vote for black wheels but i also agree ... gloss black !
RE: Powder coating on the wheels? - Seabee_imp - 07-06-2015
IMHO I prefer the silver wheels but I would be interested to see what the silver/black 2013 wheel color would look like on the DLX. I am not great with computers but maybe some body could do some magic with photoshop to see how that would look? Just an idea.

I like the look of black chrome and would like to redo all of the chrome parts on my bike with that. However, there is no way I could afford to do that.
