I know I did a previous thread on this , but as the wheels are now finished I wanted to add a poll and pictures.
What do you guys think? Standard grey alloys, powder coated black alloys or Black spoked wheels?

They don’t.

The black alloys look good.

1st. Black alloys
2nd. Grey alloys
3rd. Black spoked, but any spoked really, they are a right bar steward to clean! And spoked wheels are heavier!

Black alloys.
I fooking hate the gold spoked wheels on my Rallye.
Were supposed to be black but BMW cocked up the order and still haven't sorted the complaint.

The black alloys vote is edging ahead.
I am also leaning towards keeping those and selling the black spokes but not 100% yet.
Certainly easier to clean...

I went with black alloys but my bikes is white, so it blends in better IMO

Black alloys. Grey's boring and spokes are a pain.

just changed from a bike with spoked to alloys and you can tell the difference when changing direction. a;so much easier to clean, so unless going offroad, alloys all the way.

The poll finishes at noon today and it’s a very close thing between the 2 favourites!
