I'm no photographer so I hope my pics do the wheels justice  Shy

Very nice. I think that the red wheels and the red frame tie together well, moreso than just a red frame alone. Balances the black-white-grey colours above quite nicely. Well done.

Thank you, I just felt it needed more colour, took a chance while I had the wheels off. Seems to have paid off. Now I need to get some miles on them..  Cool

Almost a shame to ride it and get it all dirty ... Big Grin

I always thought the red framed RS bikes should have had rear sub frame red as well but with the red wheels the current color sub frame looks fine.

I’m not a red frame fan but that bike looks great.

Wasn't sure about the colour when you posted the unmounted wheel, but the end result looks great. Seems to balance up the red on the frame.

They are very red! Great color match. Now you need a touch of red up top to give some visual balance.

Also a fan of what you did. Well done.
