I would think the spokes are more subject to getting scratched on the trail... so there would be constant repainting needed.

I'd paint them all black, because I'm lazy, but they would look good the way you suggested.  Paint 'em.

Well I'm probably going to paint them.  Just not sure i'm OCD enough to do as good of a job.

I've learned that being OCD a Off-Roadin don't go together very well. :102: I hate body damage!!!

But do it man, it looks badass.

Lots of welding.  Easier way is to use fasteners to attach plate to the tubing.  Mine however are fully welded using 10guage material.  The pipe is easy to bend using an elcheapo HF bender.
