IMHO the White wheels do look better, but only the K2 & K3 B&W's got them originally from the factory. I think if I had a later Bike I would probably keep them original in Black but it's down to personal preference at the end of the day

Depends what colour your K7FE is.

If its black - black wheels
If Its red and black - red wheels
If its blue and white - blue wheels

Personally I don't think white wheels on the FE's work, but your bike your choice. Here's what I did with the black wheels on my K7, polished the rims and painted the centre's blue (same colour as the tank). However, if I still had the bike, I'd have painted the complete wheel blue, polished rims are a big mistake with the GSX1400 as the alloy that Suzuki used to manufacture them is not of good polishing quality.

Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Black wheels are just easier to keep looking good .
White wheels are manky after 5mins ni matter what you do to keep them good
only a slightly modified gsx1400
oh and a standard one too

Should have mentioned my bike is blue white with red stripe on tank w/ black wheels.

My wheels were white when I bought it,  :rolleyes: they're a creamy colour now a days.
Not that it bothers me I probably haven't washed my bike thoroughly for 18 months. Pretty slack I know  :cheers:

My K7 black wheels, used to have blue rim stripes but now just black with gsx1400 stickers. All good.

same as KiwiCol's but with whitish base layer.  Imho white looks best on these bikes
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

My K3 has white rims - anything else would be sacrilege!  :whistling:
I need to go somewhere I've not been but won't know until I get there!

My K7 has the dark blue rims, I do like the look of the white but I'm staying original.

I have blue & white K2 with white rims, and they look great (IMO) ,WHEN THEY ARE CLEAN,
but unfortunately they are very quickly dirty...  So they always look dirty...
