I see what you mean, but coloured nips were used on vintage bikes, I did a lot of research when I built my DeCoster and coloured nips were being used by bmxers in the 70's. Dave Clinton used them on one of his bikes.

This covers my thoughts too.
I have used black to date but am thinking about using another colour in the future.
I know this may sound a bit too much but i saw a GHP at mk a few year ago that had alternate red/gold nips and chrome rims and hubs. It looked really well and not over the top at all. Didn't get a pic and can't remember for the life in me whose bike it was though.
