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?

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

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.....

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
