Hi Dave - where are you getting them done? I tried to find a match for Flamingo Red but failed...

Fitted my blue Oz wheels on the Falco this week and they look great, and reckon metalic black should look really good on yours, the blue would not have worked well with your colour scheme.
Not long ago the main thing about a every Falco on this site was that they all had modded side stands, now it seems the most common mod is Oz wheels!

Just got my wheels back from Triple S - Metallic Black, brilliant job, 4 day turnaround.
They look factory.
Front forks with Reactive Suspension, so super Falc on its way.
Carrying on with polishing RSV swingarm this weekend.

Triple S really are the tops when it comes to powder coating. And metallic black suits our bikes very well.

But I still have a hankering after Flamingo red wheels... Ho hum...

Graham i am having a set of brembo's painted at this moment, He his tracking down the oasis green colour for me has he wants to paint some stuff in two pack.
Unfortunatly RS paints will only supply water based paints,
I know its not powder coating but he does a bloody good job and perhaps he could paint your wheels.
Just an idea

Thanks for the offer Blinkey, but I've only just had them powder-coated metallic black and haven't even ridden the bike with them on yet! I'm very pleased with the met black, it's just that my original idea was to colour-match the wheels to the rest of the bike. Unfortunately powder in that shade is about as easy to find as a Unicorn.

I've got the bronze bird and lived with Blue Oz for a while, just cos wanted them on the bike asap. Had them powdercoated over the winter and went for charcoal gloss - not quite black. They look good I think.

Advice - from one who learnt the hard way - speak to the powder coater and make absolutely sure they have done bike wheels before and how much care they take. My man (established firm with good reputation) failed to mask the machined faces where the brake discs contact the hub.

Triple S in Bingley are the best in the North....... and I should have gone there!!!

Indeed, they're just around the corner from me, taking my mountain bike frame in at the end of the year
