Angry 2011 Honda CBR250R Red or Black?

OK, So on my bike I am facing to different ideas of rims! I am debating back and forth from Red or Black, i Have seen both done before. Everything is already pretty much black so it would seem to be the easier choice, but on the other hand (red) after installing all the (available) items in red on the bike it would look more as if someone was paying attention to the detail. So what would you consider doing? What's the better look, all opinions welcome.

Thanks, Ryan

Either color is cool. Wld you get tired of the red after awhile? Perhaps that's a consideration when making your choice.

Default Black!

I say go with black rims...but if you add some other red accents to the bike, then red rims would look outstanding.

Default One more thing

Also I think grease and grime will gather on red rims and it would be visible requiring more cleaning.

Definitely adding some accents to the bike. I've noticed oil cap, brake fluid cap, rear sets, engine case plug, muffler brackets, and stem nut all available in red, but it just seems to me that black will make me seem lazy... and the bike really doesnt get driven enough to worry about cleaning.

you are gonna paint them black? that's so lazy man, why are you so lazy? haha just joking! i agree with L2R i don't see how black will make you seem lazy and either colour will look pretty cool. Red will be a little more out there and the rims will really stand out and black will look awesome too. Either colour will be an improvement over the stock rims

I'm assuming you have a black bike? I have a red/silver and would love to see how the red rims would look on either bike (esp w/ the red accessories on yours). I agree that either color would look good but if you do make that mod please post pics.

I didn't even realize there was a Jersey, GA - had to mapquest it. Welcome!
