About to buy new rims for the 96 CR. On the fence what I should do color wise. I'm leaning twords silver rims, black hubs.

1) Classic McGrath style silver rims with black powdered hubs?

2) Modern looking black rims, leave stock hubs silver?

3) Stock color silver rims and leave hubs stock silver?

Silver all the way. IMO, black wheels on an old bike look crappy and are only good for jacked up trucks.

No black wheels on any bike. I would sell the tires and black wheels off a new bike before riding it.

I liked silver rims with red anodized hubs. I think that was after McGrath time at Honda. Fonsecs Ramsy bikes.

Hey Rockinar.......good choice on rims. Now I'd like to ask what brand fenders did you use there in the pic?

Good choice on the silver rims. Please build the bike to MC specs if you're making a replica.
