Z Rims - graphic on the rims - will it fade?
« on: May 17, 2011, 08:25 PM »
Hi all – I was selling some Z Rims but now I have another rider-project bike on the go and not sure if I should keep them.

My Zs are in fabbo condition but, the vibrant rim graphic is only a crappy sticker.  If you look closely at this photo, you can see that the original graphic is still pretty good:


Obviously, if I ride them the sticker will come off.  My concern is, what will happen to the original rim graphic??  Will I trash it with a little light weekend riding??

Basically, Im trying to work out if these wheels are too good to ride and, I should sell them and get something more rider quality.  If I sell then re-buy, it will probably only put £50 in my pocket so Im not sure if it is worth the risk/hassle..

Thoughts??  Here are a few more pics:

Sorry guys but Im still confused..  Will the rim graphic quickly fade if I start riding them (after peeling off the rim stickers that are there to make them look like they are brand new)??

Unfortunatley, I cant have a pair of £150+ wheels sat around because they are too good to ride.  Likewise, I dont see the point of buying some £100 rider wheels that dont look anywhere near as good (and only putting £50 in my pocket)..

I have a few weeks before I need to put them on my bike; maybe ill just see if any nice "rider" wheels come up in the meantime..

ta,

Paul

The graphic will wear off after only a couple of pulls on the brake fella for sure  :daumenhoch:
