748 Grey, Mag Or Black Wheels Colour Opinion

Discussion in '748 / 916 / 996 / 998' started by Chris.King1, Jul 16, 2020.

  1. Just wondering what peeps think the best wheel colour is on a yellow Ducati yellow (yes, sorry my bike is yellow) or your preference. Mine has the black wheels as pictured, but think I prefer the grey, looks a bit more classic to me. Maybe not mag/gold on a yellow. Pulled a couple of pictures of google too.

  2. For me it's gold, then grey and black last but you can't argue about taste and you like what you like. I don't see a right or wrong here.

  4. Gold frame, gold or black wheels.

    Grey frame, grey or black wheels.

    You can't get it wrong with black :D

  6. I'd go gun metal grey. But I think you have to choose the right wheel if you know what I mean. As in just painting standard wheels just doesn't look right.
     
  7. SPS.1.jpeg SPS.1 gold.jpg Think it depends on frame colour too. I quickly knocked up in 2 mins on photoshop online as a rough idea. Black wheels I have at the moment and gold colour, matching frame is the second. I like the idea of keeping the original SPS colour wheels on the 5 spokes.

  12. Black then Gold in the right shade, the wrong shade of gold would look awful.

  14. Black for me chief, really goes well with the yellow, as it does in nature!
     
  15. Black or gold for me,as both look tasty.:upyeah:
     
  16. Assuming you’re not changing the frame colour as well, gold.

    If the frame were grey then the wheels @cookster posted a pic of would be great.

    I do quite like the black but I do think the wheels should match the frame on these bikes.

    Just my tuppence

  18. Unless you are an adherent to OEM, then the following truths are self-evident:
    1. Grey is neither here nor there, it is the boring numbness of an overcast sky;
    2. Gold as a feature belongs nowhere near yellow - unless you like a hepatic bike;
    3. Black brings out the yellow in the paintwork starkly and brilliantly;
    4. NEVER apologise for having a yellow Ducati, for that is to genuflect before the common red masses.
    These are not merely my opinions, but irrefutable facts. :bucktooth:
