  1. Does it look pretty good with red wheels? I know the candy ones would clash but I think this looks pretty good??

  6. Tbf I HATE white so they are the only plus point of the white ones, having said that if I change wheels it will be to some shiny gold OZ's ;-)
     
  7. The white 899 wouldn't be my first colour choice, but not because I don't like white, I'm just not into the red wheels. But I think the white ones look ace with black/gold wheels. I saw @simmytt's 899 last night and the gold OZ wheels on that looked gorgeous :hearteyes: - albeit on a red 899...

  8. Na, colour coded wheels never look good,i think you always need a contrast,red bike black or gold wheels,blue bike black or white wheels,only exception being a black bike as black black works fine.
     
  9. I'm putting black wheels on my white 899 shortly. I hate the red. Even the yellow rear spring bothers me :tonguewink:

  10. I like the white wheels that Ducatis had in the early 90s.
    A complete bastard to clean, but when they were, they looked great with the red bike.

    White wheels on a red 899 would look cool and vaguely retro.

    But yes, a bastard to clean, so perhaps best for people who like to spend as much time cleaning as riding (and they don't seem to be so thin on the ground).
     
  11. But dude, if u squint it 'sort of' looks like an Ohlins shock ;-) haha

  12. I always hated rim tape on any other bike but I think other 899s that i see now look a bit naked without the red tape on them like I bought mine with. :flushed:
     
  13. Mines naked, just how I like it

  14. That bikes at Ducati Beverly Hills, there's probably some knob head celeb somewhere riding round on pink panigale with purple speckled wheels thinking they look cool!:Wtf:

  15. Well.... I like the red on the rear but not on the front

    and white wheels are a pain to keep clean it's ok till someone decides to run a finger across them :Rage:
     
  16. You're just real crazy!;);)
