Greetings all, I'm new to this forum and in the process of pulling the trigger on a 2019 DS, but not sure about the black wheels. If anyone has a new 2018 bike with gold wheels and wishes to swap then let me know.

You may want to add where you live.

Good point well presented

I'd love to swap. . . shipping from Arizona would probably be outrageous though. I think the black wheels are what belong on the DS!

I happen to think the opposite and that's me not a fan of gold wheels! But geographically it's too big a stretch I feel.

I live north Cambs but can ride up to Yorkshire no problem ..

Thanks for getting in touch...afraid the black wheels have grown on me so will be keeping them.

I should have been paying more attention to the forum

No worries. I think gold wheels would be too much what with the red frame and yellow spring.
What colour is your bike?

 

[damian1727]

When you put it like that it does sound a bit gaudy ... mines red

Could you get used to it...’19 colour scheme has really grown on me. I put s Leo Vince chimney on it and changed the shock and fork internals to Ohlins...fantastic! Off the scale better

 

[damian1727]

Yeah I like the 2019 colours better ... I had considered swapping but I think I best pay for this one first !

 

[Joooooooosh]

Love a gold wheel!

Apparently not the only one. I think every second bike on show at the NEC in November had gold rims...

Speaking of Gold wheels (hi-jacks thread) :angel4:
Anyone have a set of gold wheels they’d like to sell?

 

[damian1727]

I wouldn’t get far with no wheels ...

 

[Max Kool]

Keep the black wheels dude, If you ever scratch them they're way easier to patch up again (Sharpie, anyone?).

I actually wish mine were plain aluminium.

 

[Benjaman]

Is there anyone in the Midwest (Michigan) interested in trading gold for black? I have 2017 gold rims and I'm going to powder coat them to black soon if I can't find a black set to swap with.

Hey guys, I've recently learned of rimwrapz and am currently working on setting up a time to have him (Gregg) measure and make a set for me. He said his only concern would be where the wheel weights stick to the wrap. He also added that changing tires and re-balancing would/could leave marks where the previous weights were placed. -My Sled isn't a garage queen and this part is of no concern to me.

He's stoked on the idea of doing something for Ducati's and has sent over a couple ideas. The graphic below is a 60/40 split. The only difference I would make is a larger font -reaching out to the edge of the wheel and maybe a more sinister looking X. (!?) Still haven't decided on a final design but here's the example. (not really a photoshop whizz but maybe someone here is and could help with the design?) Let me know your thoughts.
