Your thoughts of my plans for my SUMO wheels
Permalink  
 

After deciding to go sumo i planned on just getting 17" rims and getting them painted and laced on to my hubs I already have.

I scored well on ebay and got a front rim for £10. But when you work it out it was ending up being more expensive then buying a set of sumos off ebay. So i bought some DTx wheels, it was quicker and cheaper :)

This is what im thinking of doing to it, i think this looks bad as but will it suit my DT?

When i got the rim we quickly painted it and this is what it looked like

I want to know your opinions, do i go black n green or do i stay black as below??
