BTW, I installed type2 low handle bar and love it so much!
Feel like cruiser bike transformed to sports bike.

Hard question Monkey Rider as it's a matter of personal taste. It's a great piece of work you've done on Photoshop. If it were up to me, I'd leave it at that as the silver wheels look so much better.
Others will, of course, have a different view.
Good luck.

I agree with Cormanus. Don't do it. The silver wheels compliment the rest of the bike.
But it's your bike so......

Nay from me. But it's your bike, so "Up to you".
Cheers
Having said that, it might be OK on a black bike, not the Honda black but a bike that has been dull blacked in a café style.
And having said that I found this:

It's good.

I think I prefer the original finish, really a matter of personal taste. I say go with what you like best.
RE: Powder coating on the wheels? - metallyguitarded_imp - 07-03-2015
Since you're asking...my vote is "nay." I prefer the look of the original wheels.

Black looks badazz. You want pretty, stay with silver. You already blacked out the side panels and they look great! You must be leaning towards black if you are photoshopping it in, so go with your heart. We will all marvel at how awesome the bike looks once it's done! Cheers!

Maybe you could swap with someone with black wheels who wants silver.
RE: Powder coating on the wheels? - furious_blue_imp - 07-03-2015
I like the top photo with the silver wheels better.
The matte-d out sidecovers look really good in that pic. The eye gets drawn more towards the tank AND the glorious silver engine with the sidecovers 'de-emphasized' like that. It's got me thinking.. hmmm...

NO, no, no. The best part of the delux is the natural aluminum wheels. If you want flat black you could probably trade a 2014 std owner who would love to have your wheels.
