That's a nice idea actually!

How durable would hydro dipping be for wheels though? (Considering the pounding that wheels take with salt, mud, grit, dirt, brake dust etc)

I wasn't hugely inspired by any of the options so I chose 'different colour'.

Not sure which colour though...

Black looks good, but it isn't different.
White - as above.
Red on red would probably look daft.

How about yellow? That would be different and I think it would look good against red.

Come to think of it, cream/ivory might look good too.

Edit: hydro-dipped carbon fibre effect is also a good idea.

... Seems I liked everything except chrome/mirror then actually.

They would have a couple of coats of laquer over the dip, so will stand up to every day use.

How much would 4 wheels cost as this sounds very tempting and it don't have to be Carbon I could do a different pattern ;)
