tires are Kenda Kiniption 2.3's. my third choice in race tires. awesome for street.
1st choice, pirelli moped.
2nd, hookworms.
an easy wheel painting method is to cut 1" strips of masking tape from 1" wide tape.
fold the tape around the nipples one time, taping it back to itself like a litle flag.
put the wheel on an old bike frame, or somewhere you can spin it without worrying about whatever else gets paint on it.
spin really fast with your hand, holding the spray can 2 inches from the rim and spray.
switch sides. repeat.
don't lay it on too thick, do a coupla coats, and it comes out really nice, and the spinning wheel will dry it fast, too.
when it's completely dry, grab the flag part of the tape and rip it right off. usually comes off in one piece.
might leave some tape residue, which can be taken off with wd40 sprayed onto a rag, which will also take off any minor overspray.
