    Are wheel rims in any colour other than black or silver always anti?

    Are tyres in any other colour than black or gum wall always anti?

    Are coloured rims and matching colour tyres doubling down on anti and beyond unacceptable?

    Would you be damned to hell for all eternity for attempting all the above on one bike?

    I've always thought "don't do it!" with my bikes, and off the top my head can't think if any builds that have managed it, it just seems to attract sharp intakes of breath and vom on shoes.
