Does anyone know where I can buy or have any ideas of what type of decals would go with a Planet X neon green Frame

They would be to fit 31m road rims

    They have a wide range of decals but can make custom ones too.

    They're on holiday at the moment, but back on the 4th.

    None because there are loads f colours going on there anyway and decals on your wheels is going to turn it into a morass of confusion.

    I just found another site

    https://www.indibike.co.uk/custom-bold- ... 9297-p.asp

    on the sizing, what size would I need for 31m rims?

    also it has an option of for profile 1 or 2cm ?

    Not sure tbh, I'd call or email them and let them know what rims you have ;)

    I'd probably go for black decals on black wheels - should give a degree of contrast. Or just run black wheels without. The trouble with going for green is that you're unlikely to match the green of the frame and it could look crap.
    FFS! Harden up and grow a pair :D

    Looks like I can use the 2cm, breaking surface is 1cm, leaves 2cm...

    I am just unsure of what size inches wheel i need to put in..

    20, 24, 26, 27.5, 29

    Aren't they MTB wheel sizes?

    The curvature if the rim will affect how the decal fits. You need to do the artwork and account for the rim profile if it is going to sit the way you want it.

    When I had the graphics done for my wheels Danny took my rims and spent hours mocking up examples to get them to fit right. For the asymmetric rims there are two decals as the decal is slightly different flat for it to look the same mounted on both sides of the wheel. Decals are not simple.
