if one of you fine dmf members could and wouldn't mind . . . i'd love to have a look at the bike with black wheels but i suffer from computer retardation and have no skills on photoshop.  if you're local, i'll buy you a beer at the rock store one of these days (LA) if not, i'll mail you a beer in a ziploc bag 

You could try the configurator...

Check out red wheels as well - could be right for your bike

I used that to decide if I wanted to change fender color and whether to keep the headlight fairing on.
Real handy (and fun!)

i did try the configurator but the background is so dark it's really kinda tough to tell how the black wheels would really look and, more specifically, on my bike as it's set up.  all good.  maybe i'll get lucky here 

You can park your bike outside a fashion shop and ask some of the medium hot ladies - black, white, red or grey wheels

Black wheels on your bike =

I stick to the idea I suggested earlier of leaving the flat top surfaces white and the vertical inset portions of the spines in black for offset....

It might be easier if you didn't use that hipster polaroid app thingamajig.

Here, use this one.

Keep those rims white buddy! I honestly haven't seen a white tank and black rims combo on any ducs...

Apparently Ducati thought it was an attractive enough combo to use it with the 696 white tank bikes. Black wheels would look better than you people think on that moto. Red would be interesting. White wheels get dirty and look foo-foo IMO.

I was actually working on 'Shopping the wheels and was almost finished with versions of both red & black. Went to use the magic wand tool and the app crashed. All that woyk gone. Doh! 32-bit app on a 64-bit OS  

Don't feel like starting over  

booger out, pick a winner

I don't think Ducati makes white rims for the newer  monsters (696, 769 or 1100). I haven't seen them...
