I hate to be the one to make this thread, but which looks better to you? I can grab a set of chrome rims for almost nothing which would solve my braking issue aswell as drop some rotational weight. Problem is, im a HUGE wuss about my color scheme! Opinions please!
Option 1
Option 2

Getting chrome for braking purposes. Thought about polished up front but will eventually get front brakes too so may aswell have chrome upfront aswell.
Now I just need to figure out if I can lace 36h hubs to 48h rims without replacing the spokes due to size or encountering problems. I know the pattern to do so, just dont know if the spokes will need to be different sizes or if the small gaps will make a difference in wheel strength.
Thanks for the opinions guys its much appreciated and makes me feel 500% more secure about swapping rims now.

I'm late, but Chrome all day. I had the mint colored ones a while back, I got sick of looking at them so fast. Green/chrome looks amazing.
bikes destroy vlogs.
