Saw a white with wires yesterday at Barrie Robson BMW
It looked very,very nice
A GS just has to have dark anodised wire wheels
Corrected for you
Tank panels - wrapped
- Thread starter Nutty
- Start date

Nope, I think not
I think the new WC silver wheels are lush
I've got a brand new silver rear 1150 GS wheel & tyre to run on my GSA & it looks good
We're all different though

To each their own, not fussed on the silver ones at all, I expect the Adventure version to correct this styling faux pas

Dark ones look crap if they get scratched too, whereas silver don't
Agreed, sorry Nutty it does nowt for me
I must admit that the pictures don't do it justice. It looks much better in the flesh, but the great thing with this wrap malarkey is that it can be removed easily if I get bored. Which I do. A lot.

Hum.....I noticed that when Count (what ever happened to him) put his images up.. I'm sure they did a grand job but what do the edges look like?
Mine are not scratched how scratched are yours

Yep, they look good.
If you get a torch out and get on your hands and knees, I'm sure you could find the odd slightly ruffled spot between panels, but you'd be hard pushed. But for under £100, it's a lot less than getting the panels removed, painted, and refitted.
I had wire wheels on my 2007 GS and although they looked better than the old alloys, they were a bitch to clean. I think the new alloys look pretty cool, so mine is coming with em on

Not scratched but there is always potential
Never been fussed about 'painted' & coloured wheels & seeing the silver ones yesterday they looked stunning

Cheers.... May well investigate further......!
He was up early and riding the Surrey hills this morning and I saw him last weekend at Boxhill (on one of his Ducatis) so I think he must just be taking a break from the forum.
wire spoke wheels
I have the wire spoke wheels on my GS Enduro and they are easy enough to clean, I use a cone wheel brush. everyone who looks at the bike say the wheels look great.
Personally I prefer the look of the spoke wheels.

No, this is the stealth look
Its a bit reminisce of those guys who put a black primer bonnet on VW vans to look different and cool, except it doesn't .
Well, the bugger's ignoring the pm's I've sent him
I'll text him for you if you need summat?
