Re: what color stripes

If you want a more modified look,charcoal gray that looks like smoke would be nice. If a flat color is what you want white or red are can't miss options

Yeah, I'm leaning towards grey, but I cant find a pic. of one anywhere. I know black stripes on a grey look good, but not sure about the other way around.

Re: what color stripes

It depends on your personal taste & how much you want the stripes to stand out.

Checkerboards fading into white? Flame stripe(s) blowing back? Yellow stripes sure would stand out!

Re: what color stripes

Right now it has the black five spokes that it came with, but I'm looking at chrome 17" irocs. I'm also thinking of getting vinyl stripes so that i can change colors if needed. Do they stick pretty well?
