I could Photoshop it if I was at home!(Can't even see the image at work)
Maybe later if no one else does it first. :D

Using the power of my imagination - I would go with a Black rear wheel.

The reason I say this is 1 - White wheels are a pain to keep clean!
2 - The swish bit from the West scheme is bigger at the front of the bike and gets slightly smaller towards the rear right? white wheels would look like too much white (IMO)
3 - The actual west bike has black wheels!

But as they say - the choice is yours!!

I was thinking about doing the front white and the rear black, but there is alot of black going on with the bike so i thought that white front and rear might be nice.

I have a white powder coated front so it is just the rear i need a little help with.

Waiting for a photoshop is probably best.
White front and black rear sounds like a good option 8-)

I was surprised at how well miss-matched wheels worked on my SV[1].

White wheels are a PITA to keep clean, you can't even have them 'nearly clean' as they still look manky. Black (or even better dark grey) look far better longer.

i could sell you a very cheap rear wheel in black,fairly good condition and cheaper than powdercoating,have the other wheel done black and have the best of both worlds and a spare wheel toboot
