Am just in the process of putting my new bike together, a De Rosa Super King w/ Super Record mechanical with the frame in the black/white/red colour scheme
Wheels will be Bora's, am deciding whether to go for the more blatant coloured decals, for a total logo everywhere bling factor, or go with the more understated dark labels to tone things down a bit. Difficult to decide as I've never really seen dark label wheels in action.
Opinions?

I say dark, let the frame take centre stage.

I have Bora One 35's in dark label. They look sweet. The labels don't detract from the frame or the high gloss finish on the rims.

Dark Label is the only choice here. The frame is already quite flamboyant as a paint scheme, there is no need for an extra accent coming from the wheels. Designer speaking here :)

None. I like my wheels with no labels.
Less is more.

Whoa thanks guys that's a pretty unanimous verdict. At first I was thinking they just had to have logo's of course because the colours match, but the more I googled pictures I kinda thought it might be going for overkill where you just end up riding a billboard.
Will post pics when I'm ready to ride in a couple of weeks
