what colour deep v would you...
... put on your brand new bright red frame. seriously.. a red frame is hard to complement. scared bright colours would be too gimmicky, think red rims might be over the top.. but love the look, and sense of security, of deep vs...

Get puke coloured rims and then puke all over them for extra pukeyness before everyone you ride it around pukes.
But seriously man. Get whatever the hell colour Deep V's you want. Seriously. Or get a regular rim that comes in silver or black and don't bother with this most difficult of questions.

aesthetics (also spelled esthetics or æsthetics) is a branch of value theory which studies sensory or sensori-emotional values, sometimes called judgments of sentiment or taste.
how does your bike smell? how does that make you feel?
btw, silver.

Get plain silver and polish them. Then you can roll up on that Escalade and shout...I've got 29's biatch!

I'm embarrassed I even clicked on this thread. I wonder what I thought I'd find? I wonder what answer the OP is looking for? Aren't all the colors available on the Velocity website? Is it supposed to be fun playing "dress up" with somebody else's bike? This could be the most confusing thread I've seen in awhile.

I'd probably do black machined or silver with an edge to black. I'd also prefer Open Pros to deep V.

In keeping w/ Christmas, I vote white. Then paint a helical white stripe on the seattube so it looks like a candy cane or a barber pole.

Don't they come uncolored? Otherwise, a lime green is dope.

Is it a nice frame? Maybe you owe it to yourself to get something with a little style AND some performance value. Deep-v's are more than just passe, they're counter-productive.

yes.. those things are way too heavy.. if youre pushing 280 or so.. maybe go for it..aside from that they are useless
as for aero.. the MIT pursuit team nerds claim you get more aero out of not wearing gloves then you do from a deep v wheel which means, not much
