    I'm about to lay down some matte black on these matte bronze wheels making a 2-tone wheel, the rim will be black and the forks remain factory bronze. Meaning everything not taped off goes black. I was thinking about painting the spline between the forks (circled in red) black, or keep it bronze. What do you think?

    Yes, starting with a black wheel seems like the move. But hey, I like the idea and look forward to pics when it’s done.
