So, I have an X3MC in Brooklyn Grey with black wheels and red brakes, pic below.

And I just ran across this super cool pen from Tactile Turn, pic and link also below, in a similar combo - grey, black, red…and an orange clip. Super retro and unique. It’s got me thinking, how could you add some sort of orange accent to get an “inspired” look on the M (besides the DOT reflectors)? Any creative ideas to do something similar?

Maybe orange calipers? Don't know if that may be an option. It would be a good match for sure.

Side note - love Tactile Turn pens. Been using them for years.

I'd say keep it subtle and put color on the wheels like paint the lip of the rim orange? I have the same color combo but just stock of course. Or somehow add orange to the side of the spokes to make the spoke pattern pop more?

Agree with keeping it subtle. Maybe add splash guards and paint the outlines of them orange?

Love the Gray, black orange combo!!
Maybe a stripe option...??

Painting the calipers would be subtle behind the 892 wheels and yet also give you that pop you are looking for...
Some people on the forum have vinyl wrapped the V-brace support brackets behind the grilles, so you could consider that as an option.

If you want Vinyl for the spoke suggestion, or the edge of the mudguards, you can get the automotive high-quality vinyl here:

I actually second this, think a pinstripe around the wheel could look good and easily removable if it doesn't

if I HAD to, I'd do the brakes.

time attack/pin-striped wheels were cool 15 years ago. anything else would be god awful.

Not everyone likes this idea, but you could add ///M stripes like this in Black, Dark Grey and Orange...

Wrapping those support bars behind the grills could be a cool idea…would be pretty subtle
