Gasgas white hubs, silver rims??
I don't like black rims and they way they get all scratched up. I have scored a set of silver excels and I am thinking of painting my hubs white to match the 2011 look. It will be 2pac paint, not powdercoat, as it looks better and is very thin, so it doesn't flake off easily.
I was considering red, but the 2010's have red hubs, so I wanted something different. Will it look stupid??

Hard to tell. Get someone to use paintshop to make look like you want it. I am powdercoating my rims black with clear on the rim edge and the hubs will be black with a red stripe or two in the middle of the hub. It may end up looking bad but I can always strip it and start over.

I am surprised to hear talk of powder coating rims in the states. Over here in OZ we only ever re-anodize them as it doesn't chip like powder coating or wear when changing tires. No manufacturer powder coats rims, seems a strange choice to me.
Love to see them when you are done though!

It might look good but may be hard to take care of. I want a blue set for my 2010 GasGas like I have on my 2011 TM with polished hubs. I just don't like the flat black they put on the 2010 GG bikes. If you do it I'd like to see pics.

Might look good, but have to see them to say for sure. I agree white hubs would probably be harder to keep looking good, so I'd consider that. I actually liked the red hubs they did, but I'm more fond of plain polished hubs I see my reflection in (scary as it may be) than anything else.

My hubs always look dirty. I don't know what color they are.

I'm with you Clay. Leave the custom colored hubs and rims to the Orange County Chopper guys.
