Gold tire suggestion ...
 

I've got a set of Gold Deep-V's with black spokes 'n hubs. Got any ideas for decent colored tires? (black is kinda boring). I searched for some sort of matching gold side wall but no luck, other than yellow wall...
Am I destined to sticking with black tires?

How exciting are you expecting tires to be?

Celeste would probably look decent with gold. What does the rest of your bike look like?

...yeah thought about that too.

Currently its silver w/ gold decals....

So even your tires will be gaudy? Awesome.

thanks now i gotta clean up food from inbetween my keyboard buttons :beer:

skinwalls or gumwalls look nice and 'retro' with gold ano rims.

Continental's GP 4000 comes in an all gold model

Celeste, gold, and silver would be a nice color scheme IMO. If you could find magenta/purple tires that would be cool too. Maybe better, idk.

Holy ****, you weren't kidding.

If you find bikes with black tires boring, perhaps it's time you re-acquaint yourself with the joy that is Cycling

They have black sidewalls iirc.

dont do gold tires to match everything. thats just way too much! but if you do... post a pic.

You'll never match gold tires to gold rims. Keep em black- the contrast of the two colors works fine.

You know- you could just paint the whole bike gold.....

i used to rock a black and gold bmx bike

thats funny

here's the weird part, if you ever DO paint a tire, that paint is NEVER EVER COMING OFF, even crap rattlecan paints on a dirty grimy tire

back when I worked in a body shop, not properly masking a tire before the car went into the booth was grounds for termination as the tire would have to be replaced,.....as the painter I saved about 40 guys jobs over the years because I'd do a tire cover check to make sure they hadn't folded it or whatever.

so yeah, just paint it gold, it'll probably last longer than the tire :p
