Can someone please change my wheels to a nice bronze?
I always wanted bronze wheels on my integra, and now that this bike is all i have, i'm seriously considering it?

 

i dont think those would look good bronze, cuz i was gonna do it myself... i think chrome would look better cuz u have silver on ur bike.

Yeah, I agree. If the bike was solid black, I'd say it'd be a definite option, but with your pipe and setup, chrome would look really good.

 

i was thinking of chroming out my bike...

like everything like this...

 

well, i have a firm dislike for chrome. And i think chrome and silver is one of the ugliest combos for a vehicle.

 

i dont mind chrome... i used to hate it...
anyone know what kinda exhaust is on the r1??? its like the agusta

 

20 seconds on google tells me it's the Laser "X-Treme."
Or it's actually an MV Agusta exhaust modified to fit.

 

I had bronze wheels on my VSM delsol, they looked REALLY good. Maybe more goldish is appropriate for the bike, though.

 

My neighbor painted his gsxr, s2000 grey (silverstone metallic? the darker grey), and painted his wheels bronze. Looked good...............then he wrecked his bike and now it's red. Looks ok.

 

here's my 5 minute job. i know it's not great but you get an idea.

 

btw i don't think it'd look that bad. i just don't think it really matches the exhaust

i agree, i think it actually looks pretty sweet, if it werent for that exhaust

 

Yeah, a high-mount exhaust would probably clean that up a ton and make it look alot better.

I'd personally like to see them black w/ polished lip like they are now, but maybe a much glossier black.

 

maybe a carbon fiber or titanium yosh?

thanks themann42 for the PS job. More are always appreciated.

 

I think a akrapovic titanium can would be a better fit with the bronze wheels

 

i was just lookin around and thinking maybe a titanium M4 highmount with bronze wheels.

 

Bronze wheels + Akra pipe = &lt;3

 

Bronze Wheels

 

akra pipe and bronze. do it

 

Not sure if its an option for your bike but if you can find some 5 spoke wheels that are compatible with your bike that would make it look even better. Then add a cf highmount I have an 03 R1 and Im going to pick up a set of the 04 5 spoke wheels this winter if I can find a cheap set.

 

second thought, can anyone yank the color from the clutch cover and put that on the wheels?

 

chrome bike + any tempurture over 65 and sunny = burnt everywhere

Thanks.
The part i'm looking at (on the very top picture) is the bronze-ish metal engine part to the left of the "F4i" decal.

 

k, here's the new one with the color of the clutch cover. not a great job but you get the idea. this is my favorite color combination of the three. doesn't look bad with the exhaust either i think.
