Heres the deal, I got a trx 450 and i'm painting the frame blue. I got the red white and blue elsinore grafix kit. I'm also painting the swingarm red, and repainting the a-arms red. What i need suggestions on is the rims...I have beadlocks in the back, reinforced in the front... should i paint them all black, the rings black,red,or blue, or leave them original?!?!

dude do whatever u thinks will look the best,i think since yur arms and swinger is gonna b red that will look better on the rims,but blue wouldnt look bad either

I would keep the rims silver (bare) and do the rings in black! What color is your plastic? it could look similar to this quad.

yeah i got my quad all done...i'm just waitin on my black plastics that will be here on monday. i painted my frame a real cool metalic blue that matches the kit. so i decided to paint my rear rings the same color blue as the frame, and leave the inside shiny. it looks pretty tight. i'll post some pics when i have it finished.
