Ti bike and Silver wheels?

[HLaB]

My trusty Fulcrums will need replacing soon.
I fancy a change though and would like to greater explore tubeless. (I have a tubless disc and after the initial mess Ive liked it).
I am currently looking at Hunt wheels. They have two almost identical sets one silver and one black. The black is marginally lighter (10g) but the silver claims to have a faster pawl engagement. I'm not worried about weight but the engagement thing is interesting.
Anyway would you stick Silver wheels on a silver frame or is it too much and I should stick with the less cleaning of the black?

The wheelsets in question.

Thanks Id forgotten about that thread but seeing similar combos is edging me towards silver for a change

Silver is always classy. Black goes in and out of fashion.

I know which I'd go with...not that I'm biased or anything.

I love the look of silver wheels on Ti & if I didn't have black handbuilt wheels from my last bike I would have gone with silver. My next Ti bike will have silver wheels & groupset
I've been on the lookout for a cheapish chainset for the winter bike & then found this https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/shimano-105-5800-silver-chainset-11-speed/#pid=19273 so I'm putting this silver one on the Ti & using the old black one for my winter bike. I don't think any amount of silver on Ti is too much

On a Ti silver.

I like black and why all mine are black with varying amounts of decal.

I opted for the Campagnolo 35s when I was looking.
CRC have the Zonda at £320 ISH.
Superb wheels with quick engagement.

Colour choice is nice but a bargain wins every time when it's a quality buy

Silver wheels would be great username !

Both black and silver work for me; I personally choose black but totally get how good silver looks as well. I've just replaced the Mavic Equipe on my Van Nicholas Yukon; I built some Mavic Open Pro in black onto some Campagnolo hubs, if black would have been unavailable I would have happily used Silver

Does this help

Ti with black hunts ~ which I think are very understated & look uber nice (& very dirty bar tape ...)

I went with silver deep dish wheels on my Lynskey and like the look of it, it's different looking than all the others with their black wheels.
