This is definitely a good idea. With this generation, you have more choices than ever for the wheels, but the frustrating thing is that they are all dark (either black, dark gray, or black with lighter accents). I understand it's a trend, but not everyone likes it. |
You're right: the hues on offer are entirely biased toward the darker shades, which gives us a pretty narrow choice (paradoxically) in comparison to generous range of spoke designs. As much as I like the central pattern of the 26s, I'll need to tread carefully here, as I've gotten really used to light-complexion rims sitting under Tanzanite arches: my 40i's cerium alloys bear up really well under the grime and dust of winter and/or motorway use.
