Has anyone in your memory ever ran odd wheels? Anyone on here ran odd coloured wheels? This years Yamaha's made me think it'd look pretty cool with the black front end and blue back

Like this photoshop I did:

I run odd wheels on hard pack tracks. I have a spare rear wheel with a black rim with a hard pack tire mounted that I switch out depending on the track. I've owned this black wheel a while and I'm not about to change rims just because it doesn't go with the prevailing paint scheme. I make up for the odd look by being the fastest guy (in our group), sometimes, on good days.

Spoke skins are a gateway to quads

I've played with it in video games Tongue (Mad Skills MX, MX vs. ATV)

Typically prefer the look of a matching set but your Photoshop looks great!

I think it looks pretty good. Clearly the brown hubs returning to PC didnt help things this year. maybe they need to go back to the black back ends and green front fenders

Factory Yamaha had the best looking bike in the pits this year. Black front looks good too!

That is exactly what I was expecting to see too when I saw the title of this thread Grinning

Good Photoshop BTW OP! I like bikes symmetrical myself, even mis-matched fenders bugs the crap out of me.

I have a set of the Alpina red/silver from a Honda for sale if anyone is interested in some “odd” looking wheels for the bike. Not quite my style, gotbthe bike with them already on it.

Janky but purposeful, like "I made my bike janky on purpose."

The BMW R1100S Boxer Cup Replica came with white and blue rims from the factory.
