Help me match wheels to my bike?
The Bora Ultras are my favorite wheels. So now I need to choose either dark or bright (White/Red) version of the wheels for my new De Rosa. I did a half ass Photoshop job pasting the front wheel so please refrain any criticism

I like the rear better. Front would be OK by me if it didn't have any red.

Rear if you want a discrete / stealth look. Front if you want it to scream "look at me, a lot of red".

That is a beautiful bike. I'd go with the rear wheel graphics. They are bold enough yet still understated and do not detract from the frame.

That is one fantastic looking bike and I love the front wheel combo. You have some great taste in bikes like you do in Noctilux's
