Colored wheels

I'm a sucker for painted rims.
The yellow and red were powder coated. The blue and orange I rattle can painted.

I'm a sucker for painted rims.

so am I Randy!
I see the Pixie Bikes at the dump all the time
and I always marvel at the cool colors that the wheels
and tires are..
I saw a 20 inch girls bike with White Anodized Rims
and Purple Rubber..

I turned my back and...WOOOSH...gone!

nice Pic's,
as always..I like your builds.

peace,
Kev.

Randy, Where in the world did you get those tires. I love the tread on the first tire and I'm actually looking for white-walled tires like you have on the second wheel(for S-7 rims). LBS or internet? I checked some links but can't seem to find 26 x 1 3/4" for S-7's...

By the way, I love painted rims too. Here's a sample of what I'm thinking about trying...

Thanks for any help you can provide.

The first tire in the bunch is a Nirve Pinwheel. Got it off the internet a few years ago. I think from an individual. Anyway they were the tire Nirve put on one of their girls bikes. My wife had them on a bike of hers that the frame busted so I had them sitting around and decided to put them on my build off bike. The sidewalls of the tires read "chicks rule".

The second tire is a new Schwinn Typhoon Cord I got at my LBS.

Thanks for the info. By the way, very nice bikes you've got there. I particularly like the Ford mock-up you showed on an 8N styled paint job. I actually work for New Holland(formerly Ford Tractor) and love the idea. I'm going to use NH blue as the primary color on my bike. Can't wait to see your 8N bike once it's done...
