Interesting question…Today we see lots of painted rims on Bob Jobs and custom bikes.

In the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s things were much the same.  Race bikes and hot rod/custuom bikes, generally had painted rims.. In the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s the same group had chrome or alloy rims.

Finally in the 90’s, painted rims started to make a return to custom and Bob Job bikes.  Hell, almost no one was building Bob Jobs until the late 1990’s..  That’s our story for today..  Remember, bobbers are for fishin’
