the red looks very similar to a candy apple I powdercoated my brakes: ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/3423/brakes_09.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/3423/brakes_09.JPG) ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/3423/brakes_05.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/3423/brakes_05.JPG) ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/3423/brakes_06.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/3423/brakes_06.JPG) if you have a polished aluminum rim… it’s as simple as getting a translucent red powdercoat. ---

meh, talk to ieatpaint, he did his with paint and they turned out well, not to mention seem to be holding up amazingly for 2 seasons now. WHEELS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE TO BUY AFTERMARKET, why not go to buffalo finishing and get them anodized or powder coated? ---

also no offense, but if thats your first bike, id advise leaving it stock and just riding it for a season, if you change the wheel colors and make it less appealing its going to lose value… my suggestion, unless the wheels are pitting/chipped/corroded leave it alone and spend the money on a bike you plan on keeping for a while… ---

Do what makes you happy then. just try not to de-value the bike, if you have any plans to sell it. And remember, typically any thing you put into it is a non-recoverable cost ☹ ---
