    Gold Mag Wheels

    I've been looking for pictures of GS' with mag wheels that are painted gold. Any gold color, or combination of gold and black (pr gold any other color)... Just trying to come up with ideas for this winters project. Can anyone help me out?

    Two places I would look would both start at the GSR homepage.

    Look at the Bike Of The Month section, then look at previous winners, there are a few in there.

    Go to the Gallery, scroll through, you will see plenty.

        Perfect! That's pretty much my color scheme. It looks bad ass.

                So did the 750's


                So when I did my 85 I kept the wheels gold.

                But I really like gold wheels anyway.My 83 VF750F didn't come that way stock.

                  Those wheels look great! Did you happen to paint them?

                          What kind of paint did you use?

                            Find me some spokes that fit on my bike that don't need tubes, and I'm down. I've been looking at klr rear wheels, or something from a bigger dirt bike.

                              Dupli-Color Gold is what I used.Aways was impressed at how rich the
                              colour was out of a rattle can.I can't find the old can,pretty much gone so I think it's been thrown out.I sure hope they haven't changed the formula it the last 20+ years.How's that for a hope.
