That's looking nice.

Originally they came with red wheels on that colour scheme if that helps you decide.

I agree, take a look at Lee's bike, black wheels look good on a red/grey KR1S

black looks nice but then again so does red or white with this scheme. saying that, the silver sounds a good idea. coin toss? bikes looks good btw

Hi Mick,
Great job on the bike =D>

Do you have any photos?
Cheers

Hi Bernie
found a set on e bay freshly powder coated white,new bearings,new disc bolts and new tyres for about half the price of doing my old ones up.
The white wheels do look good with the red colour scheme :D
